At Lake View Primary School, we recognise that all pupils are entitled to a quality of provision that will enable them to achieve their potential. We believe in positive intervention, removing barriers to learning, raising expectations and levels of achievement and working in partnership with other agencies in order to provide a positive educational experience for all our pupils including those with a special educational need or disability.

At Lake View Primary School, the Schools and Families Support Team ensures all teachers in school understand the implications for those children who have SEN. 

Our school Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator (SENDCo) is: Mrs Emma Watson

Mrs Watson is contactable via the school office. Please don't hesitate to contact her if you require any information regarding your child's Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities.

Speech and Language Therapy (SALT)

Our school funds it's own Speech and Language Therapist to work with and set up programmes for children with Speech and Language difficulties. The therapist will also link directly with any NHS Speech and Language work that is currently ongoing for your child.

Please contact the school for more information.

Inclusive Spaces for Children with SEND

At Lake View, we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all our students, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We have carefully designed our regulation spaces and classrooms to meet the diverse needs of our students while adhering to statutory guidance, including the Children and Families Act 2014, the Equality Act 2010, and the SEND Code of Practice (2015). These spaces are managed by trained staff who prioritise the wellbeing, dignity, and safety of all children. Clear protocols and safeguarding measures are in place to ensure these environments foster emotional regulation, learning, and inclusion. We regularly monitor and review the use of these spaces to ensure they remain effective, and we work closely with families to develop and adapt individualised plans that support every child’s progress. Your child’s safety, dignity, wellbeing, and education are always our priority.
