Churchill Academy & Sixth Form

SEND

At Churchill Academy & Sixth Form we have the highest expectations of all students regardless of their starting point.  We are committed to the principle of Inclusion ensuring that all students are supported within a whole school approach to SEND. 

Our specialist and experienced SEND team work in partnership with class teachers to enable all students with identified SEND to access a broad and balanced curriculum offer.   We have experience of supporting students with a wide range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.  We are happy to discuss your child’s individual needs with you and look at how we can personalise what we offer.

We follow the guidelines contained with the SEND Code of Practice (2015) and we understand the importance of working collaboratively with students, parents and other professionals to ensure the very best outcomes for every student.  We welcome any suggestions from students and parents about how we can improve our service and the way we work together. 

The well-being of our students is a primary concern.  Pupils are supported with their Social and Emotional Development through the Tutor programme and through our bespoke whole school PSHE days.  We are very proud of the pastoral support and care that we offer to our students.   Students are monitored closely and can access support through their Tutor, Key worker (where applicable), Head of House and member/s of the Student Services/SEND team.

If you have any questions, concerns or would like to find out more information in relation to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities at Churchill Academy please contact our SENCo, Mrs Agnieszka Moncur. 

We look forward to working in partnership with you to ensure your child's success at Churchill Academy and beyond.
