SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

At Western, we take a whole school approach to inclusion. Every member of staff is an essential part of the inclusion team. We work together to ensure every child achieves the best possible outcomes (academically, socially and emotionally) through Quality First Teaching. We care about the development of the whole child. After all, happy, relaxed,confident children make better learners. We have high expectations for all children. We believe that there is a way to help every child achieve more. We recognise that some children may need additional provision to support their individual learning needs. In collaboration with parents, carers and the support of external agencies, we aim for all children to make outstanding progress from their starting points. Whole school provision maps can be viewed on the school website.

There are occasions when children may need adaptations to be made to their learning in order for them to achieve. Teachers discuss children's additional needs with parents and the SENCo and an appropriate plan is designed. This plan ensures teachers and supporting staff make adaptations to learning to suit a child's individual special educational needs. Adaptations may be made in the classroom or children may be involved in additional interventions that take place outside of the classroom if appropriate. The Junction is the heart of the school where extra support for all is available.

For children who may need extra provision to support their development, the following is available:

Learning support Literacy interventions to embed basic literacy skills Maths interventions to embed basic maths skills Reading intervention/accelerated reading to support reading and comprehension skills Pre-teach and catch up lessons to ensure understanding across the curriculum SALT - Speech, language and social communication activities to ensure the basics of literacy learning and social development Anxiety Interventions to support mental health for increased focus on learning Quiet room for pastoral care Family support worker to help support routines for happy, healthy children and parents/ carers The Retreat for one-to-one therapeutic counselling to support positive mental health Attendance support to ensure all children are safe and taking maximum benefit from learning
