Inclusion
West Street is a fully inclusive school that strives to provide the best education for all children.
Inclusion looks at the needs of each individual pupil including children with specific learning difficulties, pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties, EAL (English as an Additional Language) pupils, and pupils considered to be able and talented.
West Street is fortunate enough to have nurture provision in both key stages which is led by our Inclusion Team. Our Inclusion team is managed by Mrs Gupta, our Special Educational Needs & Disabilities Co-ordinator (SENDCo), and supported by a high level of experienced support staff deployed so that all children can achieve their highest potential and make the best progress possible.
Sparkle Room
Pupils from Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 can access Sparkle Room if they have an identified need for some additional support through nurture provision. This could be lack of confidence, poor self -esteem, social interaction or managing emotions.
Fireworks Room
Pupils from Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 can access Fireworks Room if they have an identified need for some additional support through nurture provision. This could be lack of confidence, poor self -esteem, social interaction or managing emotions.
