My child has Special Educational Needs

At Westmeads we can make provision for every kind of frequently occurring special educational need without an Education, Health and Care Plan, for instance dyslexia, dyspraxia, speech and language needs, autism, Asperger’s syndrome, learning difficulties and social, mental health and emotional difficulties. The staff has a wealth of experience when dealing with many different types of special educational need and will always give its best endeavours to meet the needs of all pupils.

The school also currently endeavours to meet the needs of pupils with an Education, Health and Care plan with the following kinds of special educational need: autism, hearing impairment and severe and profound speech and language disorder.  Decisions on the admission of pupils with an Education, Health and Care plan are made by the Local Authority.

The admission arrangements for pupils without an Education, Health and Care Plan do not discriminate against or disadvantage disabled children or those with special educational needs.
