Who’s on the SEND team?
The SEND team at Wootton Academy involves everyone. Every teacher and member of staff is responsible for ensuring pupils with SEND have a positive learning experience and make progress. The day-to-day leadership and management of SEND across the school is led by the SENDCo, who works closely with parents, pupils, teachers, support staff, and external agencies.
Everyone on the team is recognised for being skilled, hardworking, and committed to placing pupils’ aspirations at the heart of everything we do.
Our approach
We value pupils as individuals and want them to feel safe and supported, enabling them to be confident and flourish, regardless of their special needs or differences. This is vital for them to grow up to lead happy, healthy, and successful lives. Our aim is to prepare them for adulthood.
How we achieve this
Provision for pupils with SEND begins with high-quality first teaching. Thereafter, we collaboratively decide on appropriate provision that is ‘additional to and different from’ the standard curriculum. In collaboration with parents, governors, and the community, we aim to provide an accessible curriculum by removing barriers to learning and addressing individual needs.
