Special Educational Needs
At Westerings Primary Academy, we strive to meet the needs of all pupils within our school.
All staff are leaders of SEND, ensuring that SEND is a whole school focus, ensuring that ALL children's needs are met, best practice is shared and great outcomes for our pupils are achieved.
We aim to quickly identify pupils, who are making limited progress and provide targeted interventions and support to meet their needs.
We ensure that parents are fully aware of the SEND process and informed of their child’s learning at regular points throughout the year. We are a fully inclusive school and work alongside the Academy Trust, Local Authority, Health Professionals, and community organisations, to find the most appropriate and effective support for pupils within our care.
At Westerings, we use Edukey Provision Map Tool to share information, record, review provisions and measure outcomes for all SEND pupils. Edukey is used as part of our assess, plan, do, review cycle.
The following documents will give you more information in relation to SEND. If you have any concerns or wish to discuss SEND at our school, please do not hesitate to contact me:
