Inclusion

3rd March 2016 by webadmin 1518

At West Road Primary Academy, we believe that everybody has an entitlement to personal, social and intellectual development and must be given an opportunity to achieve his/her potential in learning through a broad and balanced curriculum. We have high expectations for all our pupils in respect of their achievements, attitudes and well-being.

Our inclusion team is led by Mrs Lambert, our SENDCO and inclusion lead. Mrs Lambert is also our Designated Safeguarding Officer.

We aim to be an inclusive school and actively seek to remove the barriers to learning and participation that can hinder or exclude individual pupils or groups of pupils. We put them into practice by ensuring that different groups of pupils within our school have appropriate provision to enable them to achieve their full potential.

Our staff who work as part of the inclusion team have written some statements about the wonderful children they work with. Read on to see how proud everyone is of their key worker children.

I am so proud of my 1:1 child. Last year, I know he really struggled to stay in the classroom and self-regulate. Since coming back to school, he now stays in the classroom and we use brain breaks so that he is ready to learn.

Since starting in Year 2 the child who I support has started reading every day. He recently completed a phonics screening test and scored 11, this is a huge achievement as he is non-verbal at times, or communicates using singular words.

Miss Keeton, October 2023

This young man has daily exercises from the OT to complete that strengthen his core muscles. He is making amazing progress with this and makes me, as his support adult, and himself proud.

When he first started doing his Physio exercises back in June he couldn’t stand on one leg for more than 1 second and would get quite frustrated with himself because he couldn’t do it. Recently, he has started to balance on his left leg, then the right for 10 seconds. The aim is 20 seconds. He is so proud of his own achievements.

Staff Comment:

I absolutely love my job working as a 1:1 support assistant. It’s a very challenging job at times but also greatly rewarding. Being a 1:1 I have learnt new skills and by learning these new skills I can better understand and support my child in achieving and succeeding whatever is put in front of us. We’re a team my child and me, we work together. I also work amongst a great team of people who are always happy to help and offer support and guidance as and when needed.

At West Road, we believe that everybody is unique in terms of characteristics, interests, abilities, motivation and learning needs and we embrace these wide diversities.

We promote the individuality of all our pupils irrespective of age, attainment, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, gender, culture, religion or background.

Those with exceptional needs and/or disabilities have access to high quality and appropriate education which will enhance their current and future participation in society.
