Wescott Infant School

Special Educational Needs, or SEND is a term used to describe pupils who have needs which are over and above those that can be met by quality first classroom teaching. Although the needs of children often cross more than one 'area of need', the four main categories are; Communication and Interaction, Cognitive and Learning; Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties and Sensory and/or Physical needs. A child's needs may be identified before a child has started school, or it may be identified at a specific time in their education. Furthermore, it may be for a short period of time or throughout a child's education. 

At Wescott Infant School we welcome everybody into our community and celebrate our diversity. We ensure that all children have access to learning at their level, which is tailored to meet their indivdual needs. We provide positive learning experiences and enable all children to access all aspects of school life through engaging and developing skills and knowledge, for them to succeed and reach their potential. 

Staff at Wescott have a wealth of experience in the field of SEND and benefit from a specialist ASD resource. There are a range of specific interventions and support programmes that are used to meet the differing needs of pupils where there progress is regularly tracked and evaluated.
