Supported Learning

"Strategies for identifying and supporting pupils with SEND are effective across the school. Carefully structured tasks and individual help from teaching assistants enable pupils to improve the quality of their work."

Westville firmly believes in identifying and supporting any child with additional educational needs. Along with our highly trained SENDCO (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator), we have specialists in dyslexia, dyspraxia and other learning difficulties. They all work as a team with parents and children to ensure that each child's needs are understood and met during their time at Westville. We have designated spaces for 1:1 and small group learning.

High Achieving children who are identified as gifted and talented are also supported by skilled staff members to ensure their abilities are fully developed.

“We moved our son to Westville 4 years ago when it became evident that he wasn’t progressing in his current school. He was just 7 years old at the time. Within 6 months Westville had helped us establish that he was dyslexic & unable to learn through phonics. Since then, and with the extra support available, he has flourished and has recently secured a scholarship to Giggleswick for Senior School. Most importantly he has experienced a really well rounded education with lots of sport, which is his passion. We can’t thank Westville enough and now also have his younger sister at the school.”
