Inclusion

Special educational needs

The Academy provides a range of interventions to support students with particular learning needs.  We follow the revised code of practice in identifying, assessing and supporting students with special educational needs.  Through individual education plans we provide support which is tailored to cater for each student’s unique situation.  Support may be given in class, in a small group or through withdrawal classes and is delivered by a skilled team of teachers, learning support assistants and specialist behavioural support workers.  If your child has special educational needs you can discuss these in more detail with the Vice Principal Learning and Teaching.

English as an additional language

We provide well matched extra support for students with additional language needs.  Our emphasis on the core curriculum and a combination of induction classes and one-to-one teaching ensures that these students receive extra support until they reach the expected levels in English.

Gifted and talented

Our individualised learning and assessment programmes recognises and nurtures the gifts and talents of individual students and provides them with challenge and extension work.
