Miss Bell is the school SENDCo.

At Weston Hills Primary School we value the abilities and achievements of all our pupils and we are committed to providing each pupil with the best possible environment for learning.  We recognise that many pupils may have special needs at some time during their school life.  Whilst many factors contribute to the range of difficulties experienced by some children, we believe that much can be done to overcome them by parents, teachers, support staff and pupils working together.

At Weston Hills we:

• Ensure all pupils have access to a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum
• Provide a differentiated curriculum appropriate to the individual's needs and ablity.
• Ensure the identification of all pupils requiring SEND provision as early as possible in their primary career
• Ensure that SEND pupils take as full a part as possible in all school activities
• Liaise with outside agencies, when this would be beneficial, in order to access further specialist support for pupils and parents

The main methods of provision made by the school are extremely flexible and are tailored to the needs of the pupils as much as possible.  Staff are experienced in working with all areas of SEND and are highly committed to making children's lives not only productive but happy.  Examples of SEND provision include:

• Quality first teaching in class supported by a differentiated curriculum
• Additional intervention work with a teacher or support staff, either individually or in a small group
• In-class support, with adult assistance where appropriate
• Support from specialists using specific programmes and training.

At Weston Hills Primary School we firmly believe in developing a strong partnership with parents/carers and that this will enable children and young people with SEND to achieve their potential.  The school recognises that parents/carers have a unique overview of their child's needs and how best to support them, and that this gives them a key role in the partnership.  Parents/carers hold key information and have a critical role to play in their children's education.

Since September 2014, all schools have been required to publish details of the support it offers to pupils with special education needs and / or a disability through their SEND Information Report, to compliment the Lincolnshire LA Local Offer.
