Our Vision
The Faculty of Learning Support seeks to support and empower SEND students at the Academy to grow and develop on their own personal learning journey. Our provision and support aims to remove barriers, build confidence and resilience and provide challenge and support for academic and personal growth.
Our students will:
- Thrive and feel confident through their personalised learning journey
- Grow to be independent learners who can self-manage
- Experience personal growth and build academic and social resilience
- Have the confidence to formulate and express ideas and opinions
- Experience making a positive contribution to the school community
Our student-centred SEND Curriculum Principles:
- To support the transition of SEND students from primary to secondary, KS3 to KS4 and beyond Year 11
- To support the progress of SEND students to achieve beyond initial expectations
- To support SEND students to maximise learning in lessons
- To provide additional learning opportunities for literacy and numeracy
- To ensure barriers to examinations are reduced through effective access arrangements
- To provide targeted intervention through in-class support, withdrawal, enrichment and mentoring
- To support SEND students to become confident individuals through enrichment, community events and participation with SEND student voice
- To prepare students for life beyond the Academy via a diverse array of social and communication interventions
- To instill self-worth and a strong sense of how to safeguard themselves and others
