Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
At West View Primary School, we are committed to providing a genuinely holistic and inclusive approach to supporting every child. We believe that all children, including those with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND), should be valued, listened to and supported to achieve their full potential.
Our approach reflects the principles of the current SEND framework and the ongoing direction of SEND reform, with a strong focus on early identification, early intervention, inclusive practice and high-quality teaching. We recognise that every child is unique, and we work to understand their individual strengths, needs, interests and aspirations so that the right support can be put in place at the right time.
Our SEND provision follows a graduated approach, with support carefully planned, reviewed and adapted in response to each child’s needs and progress. We work closely with families and, where appropriate, with external professionals and partner services to ensure that support is coordinated and focused on positive outcomes for the child.
As a school proud to be recognised as a Flagship school for Inclusion, we are committed to continually developing our inclusive practice and sharing our expertise to promote positive outcomes for children and young people with SEND.
The information below provides further details about some of the specific areas of SEND that we are able to support in school. Each section includes information, advice and practical resources that may help families to understand and support their child’s individual needs.

The additional needs of most children can be met by inclusive quality first teaching and reasonable adjustments from the funding and resources that are already or ‘ordinarily’ available within their mainstream school or setting. This is known as ‘Ordinarily Available Provision’.
