At Whoberley Hall Primary School, we believe that every child is unique, valued, and capable of success. We are committed to creating a happy, inclusive, and nurturing environment where all children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be the very best they can be.

We recognise that children learn in different ways and that some may need additional support at different times throughout their school journey. Our aim is to ensure that every child, regardless of their needs, abilities, background, or circumstances, has the opportunity to thrive both academically and personally.

We have high expectations for all our pupils and are committed to helping every child achieve their full potential. Through high-quality teaching, carefully planned support, and strong relationships, we work to remove barriers to learning and ensure that all children can access a broad, balanced, and enriching curriculum.

At Whoberley Hall, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that children learn best when they feel a sense of belonging and are fully involved in school life. Wherever possible, pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) learn alongside their peers in mainstream classrooms, benefiting from Quality First Teaching and an inclusive learning environment. Additional interventions, targeted support, and personalised approaches are provided where needed to help children succeed.

Our SEND provision follows the Assess, Plan, Do, Review approach, ensuring that support is tailored to each child's individual strengths and needs and is regularly reviewed with families. For some children, this may involve SEN Support, a My Support Plan (MSP), or an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

We are proud to have our Acorns Support Base, which provides specialist support for pupils with more complex needs. Acorns offers a nurturing, highly personalised environment where children can develop the confidence, skills, and independence they need to flourish while remaining an important part of our wider school community.

We know that parents and carers are their child's first and most important teachers. We value the knowledge, experience, and insights that families bring and believe that strong partnerships between home and school are key to achieving the best outcomes for children. We are committed to listening, communicating openly, and working together every step of the way.

At Whoberley Hall Primary School, we celebrate diversity, embrace individuality, and foster a culture of kindness, respect, and belonging. We want every child to feel valued, confident, and proud of who they are, knowing that they are supported to achieve their aspirations and reach their full potential.

 

Coventry SEND Local Offer

The Coventry SEND Local Offer provides families with a single place to access information about the support available for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). It offers clear and up-to-date guidance on services across education, health and social care, making it easier for families to find the help they need.

The Local Offer includes details about schools and nurseries, specialist support services, therapies, healthcare, short breaks, leisure opportunities, and community resources available to support children and young people.

It also explains how to access services, what support may be available at different stages of a child’s journey, and how children and young people can be supported as they develop independence and move towards adulthood.
