Special Education Needs
The academy is committed to providing an inclusive learning environment in line with the SEND Code of Practice (2015) and the Equality Act (2010), while maintaining its selective academic standards. Support is available for students with identified special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) who can access the academy’s curriculum with reasonable adjustments. Currently, the academy provides targeted support for students with mild to moderate special educational needs, including autism spectrum conditions, speech, language, and communication difficulties, dyslexia, dyspraxia and social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. Provision is also available for students with English as an additional language (EAL) and those with medical conditions, eating disorders, and epilepsy, where their needs can be met within the academy’s academic framework. We offer a tiered approach to additional support, including ELSA, mindfulness practices, therapy dogs, MIND support, and counselling. The academy is fully accessible to students with physical disabilities, with lifts in all multi-storey buildings and wheelchair access across the site. At present, the academy is not equipped to support students with moderate to severe learning difficulties, significant sensory impairments (such as severe hearing or visual impairments), or those whose medical needs require specialist provision beyond those that can be reasonably accommodated within a selective grammar school setting. The SENco oversees the academy’s SEND provision, working in partnership with teaching staff, a dedicated academic mentor, and a student hub team trained in first aid to ensure appropriate support is available within the academy’s academic and pastoral framework.
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.
