SEND Support

At Wayland Academy, we are aware of the needs of each individual student and recognise that we have a responsibility to support every student to achieve their potential.

At Wayland Academy we aim to:

Ensure that all members of the school community support students with special educational needs and disabilities and that SEND students are integrated fully into the life of the school.

Ensure that all students have access to high-quality teaching.

Ensure that all students identified as having SEND have, as far as possible, equal access to all aspects of the curriculum, with modifications made to the curriculum if appropriate.

Provide appropriate scaffolding to ensure that all pupils can master knowledge.

Meet the special educational needs of children with physical disabilities as far as is practicable in terms of the layout and resources of the Academy.

Increase the confidence of students with SEND, encouraging them to be involved in their own provision.

Communicate with parents about all aspects of the special needs provision made for their children and seek to develop this partnership.

By providing a whole-academy approach we are able to deliver student-centred planned provision through resources, intervention and support. As well as providing early review, identification and assessment of pupils we believe may need extra support so that they have the best opportunities to succeed.

Committing to this approach helps improve attainment and progress of pupils with SEND. We are able to remove barriers to learning so that students have access to a broad and balanced curriculum and provisions for students to match their needs. Listening to the views and wishes of pupils is also considered with the effective working partnership between the Academy and your family to reach a common goal for our pupils success.
