Inclusion and SEND Provision
Inclusion
At West End Primary School we provide education for all pupils through a variety of access strategies including, appropriate differentiation, resources and facilities as necessary. All pupils’ individual needs are considered and a full range of flexible responses are available to accommodate and value their diversity.
All pupils are entitled to receive, within a suitable peer group, a broad balanced and relevant curriculum. The school will, within the context of services available, seek the relevant support and advice from the LEA, in order to facilitate pupils’ inclusion.
This does not mean that we will treat all learners in the same way, but that we will respond to learners in ways which take account of their varied life experiences and needs.
We believe that educational inclusion is about equal opportunities for all learners, whatever their age, gender, ethnicity, impairment, attainment and background. We pay particular attention to the provision for and the achievement of different groups of learners.
SEND Provision
If you have any questions or queries about the Special Education Needs and Disability provision at West End, please speak to your child's class teacher or the Inclusion Coordinator, Helen Dillon.

Autism Awareness
Did you know that one in in every 36 school pupils are autistic?
That means that our school children will be learning, playing and living in communities with autistic children and adults.
Every year in school we run a series of Autism Awareness Assemblies, followed up back in class with activities to build understanding and tolerance.
Please see the links below for activities you can do at home to help your child to learn about Autism and better understand their classmates.
Early Years Children might like to watch this special episode of Daisy and Ollie 'How do I make friends with Theo? Afterwards talk to your child about how they could make friends with Theo. If you would like more information a resource pack can be found below.
Older children can watch this film - The Trummies, there are links to a resource pack for more ideas of how to answer your children's questions about Autism. Please take a look at this poster which helps children to understand how to help make our school more Autism Friendly.
