Special Education Needs
The Ridings' Federatiom Winterbourne Interntional Academy has a commitment to inclusion via its "achieving success through motivation, knowledge and skills" theme. To ensure each student achieves their potential, the Academy actively seeks to overcome any barriers to learning that may exist for individual students. In support of this, the Academy has developed a Learning Support Base and a Behaviour for Learning Centre (B4LC), which helps students who would otherwise be excluded, be reintegrated into the classroom. Given our diverse student population, the Academy's support procedures are broad, flexible and comprehensive and offer our students every opportunity to progress. Within the Student Support Procedures framework lies an assessment and screening process which underpins the whole process. We have found through experience that those students who are not performing at a secure Level 4 or above in English are more likely to fall into a cycle of frustration, loss of self-confidence and sometimes, academic performance below their actual level of ability. Our aim is to access all students in Year 7, to screen for those who may have specific learning difficulties which we have not been informed about, and to identify those students who we feel may fall behind as the demands of secondary education cause them to fall into the cycle of disaffection and under achievement. The aim of the whole assessment process is three-fold: 1) to gather as much information as possible about educational attainment to date and to obtain an indication of underlying ability or potential; 2) to identify, using diagnostic tests, specific problems to pinpoint where problems lie, to give an indication of the type of support, if any, that will be necessary; and 3) to determine whether further assessment by an Educational Psychologist or the Specialist Learning Support Co-ordinator within the Academy is indicated.

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.
