Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
At West View Primary School, we are committed to a genuinely holistic approach to supporting all children, actively promoting a fully inclusive curriculum. We believe that children with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND) have the right to a broad and balanced curriculum and to be fully included in all aspects of school life (DfE, Special Educational Needs Code of Practice, 2015). We believe that all children should be encouraged and supported to achieve their full potential within a safe, nurturing and enriching learning environment. We actively encourage parents and carers to be involved in the education of their child and see effective home school partnerships as key to a child’s success.
We are proud to be recognised as a Communication Friendly Setting as well as an Inclusion Quality Mark Flagship School. We have also achieved the Dyslexia Friendly Schools Quality Mark, which recognises our hard work in developing dyslexia provision across the school.

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’.
