Westhaven is a special school for pupils who have either moderate learning difficulties or, increasingly, needs on the autism spectrum. A number of pupils have additional medical or physical needs. All pupils have an education, health and care plan. The school offers flexible placements in partnership with mainstream schools. The percentage of pupils who are eligible for pupil premium funding is well above the national average. A very small number of pupils receive literacy and numeracy catch-up funding for Year 7. The school’s extended provision includes a breakfast club and after-school clubs, which are managed by the school.
