Special Educational Needs

The Academy would promote a positive approach to personalised learning and give high priority to meeting the needs of individual learners throughout their schooling. Woodard Schools believes that every young person has the right to be valued, respected and an equal member of the learning community.

Working alongside the Sponsor and partners, the Academy would provide opportunities for students who showed gifts and talent in a particular area, while those experiencing difficulties with learning would be supported and helped to succeed.

The Academy would provide access for students with disabilities, including wheelchair users and would work within the framework of the Local Authority's special educational needs policies to offer an inclusive education. The design of the building and the Academy's use of new technology would maximise access to the curriculum and promote learning for all.
