Special Education Needs
At Orwell High School we aim to value and listen to every pupil to enable them to discover their potential and help them to achieve it. We believe every child matters and every child's needs are special. Our SEN Team consists of specialist literacy and numeracy teachers and all of our statemented students receive the individual and small group teaching they need. We have a dedicated team of Learning Support Assistants who work closely with SEN pupils in and out of the classroom. In addition we run a number of clubs to support these pupils and their parents - for example a lunchtime and a homework club. Our pupils needs vary, from some needing basic academic support and others needing considerable academic and social support. We work with pupils on the Autistic Spectrum, pupils with Specific Learning Difficulties(dyslexia), dyspraxic pupils and those with Moderate Learning Difficulties.
Interpreting catchment maps
The maps show in colour where the pupils at a school came from*. Red = most pupils to Blue = fewest.
Where the map is not coloured we have no record in the previous three years of any pupils being admitted from that location based on the options chosen.
For help and explanation of our catchment maps see: Catchment maps explained
Further reading
If there are more applicants to a school than it has places for, who gets in is determined by which applicants best fulfil the admissions criteria.
Admissions criteria are often complicated, and may change from year to year. The best source of information is usually the relevant local authority website, but once you have set your sights on a school it is a good idea to ask them how they see things panning out for the year that you are interested in.
Many schools admit children based on distance from the school or a fixed catchment area. For such schools, the cut-off distance will vary from year to year, especially if the school give priority to siblings, and the pattern will be of a central core with outliers (who will mostly be siblings). Schools that admit on the basis of academic or religious selection will have a much more scattered pattern.
*The coloured areas outlined in black are Census Output Areas. These are made up of a group of neighbouring postcodes, which accounts for their odd shapes. These provide an indication, but not a precise map, of the school’s catchment: always refer to local authority and school websites for precise information.
The 'hotter' the colour the more children have been admitted.
