Students with Special Education Needs
The term ‘special educational need’ refers to a learning difficulty or disability that makes it harder for a child to learn than most other children of the same age.
The school aims to meet the needs of students with special education needs, and follows the guidelines contained in the SEN Code of Practice 2001 and the Special Education Needs and Disability Act 2001. All students at Westminster City School have access to the full National Curriculum, though some students may need a modified curriculum. This may involve additional help within lessons or withdrawal for help on an individual or small group basis. An Individual Educational Plan is devised to meet the needs of the students and advice may be sought from appropriate external agencies such as the Educational Psychology Service or Medical Service.
The school’s Special Educational Needs Policy sets out the philosophy and organisation of support for students who have SEN and is available upon request by contacting the school office. The school’s SENCO (Special Education Needs Co-ordinator) is Ms K Scarletl. Ms T Allen is the Lead Teaching Assistant in the Learning Support Faculty.
