Additional Educational Needs (AEN)

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Additional Educational Needs (AEN) section of our website. All students have the right to achieve their maximum academic and social potential.   At the Academy, we believe that all students have learning differences rather than learning difficulties, and it is our policy to identify and assess these differences so that learning is supported and differentiated to ensure outstanding progress is made by all students.

We offer a range of support to develop teachers' expertise and additional support within the classroom, this includes: drop-in sessions, in-class training and observations from the Assistant Principal for Inclusion, as well as specialist advice/input within the classroom.  We also have a learning resource base in the Academy where students, parents and staff can access specialist intervention as appropriate.

You will find details of what the academy can currently offer for your child within the SEN Information report and within the various policies below; you can also find questions and answers from current parents and students. If you have any additional questions, concerns or worries, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Learning Support Services team.

Academy vision for students with Disability / Special Educational Needs (D/SEN).

 

Information on where the Local Authority’s Local Offer can be found at:http://www.croydon.gov.uk/education/special-educational-needs/

We are committed to providing an appropriate and high-quality education for all children. We believe that all children, including those identified as having Special Educational Needs as well as every other student, have a common entitlement to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum. This curriculum should be accessible to them, and they will be fully included in all aspects of academy life. We recognise that students learn at different rates and that there are many factors affecting achievement, including ability, emotional state, age and maturity. We are particularly aware of the needs of our students, for whom maturity is a crucial factor in terms of readiness to learn. We believe that many students, at some time in their academy career, may experience difficulties which affect their learning, and we recognise that these may be long or short-term. At the academy, we aim to identify these needs as they arise and provide teaching and learning contexts which enable every child to achieve his or her full potential.

It is also worth noting that from 1st September 2014, there were some changes to D/SEN legislation, following the Children’s and Families Act 2014. A summary of key changes are below, but please visit the link at the bottom of the page for further information.


The D/SEN code of practice key changes

The D/SEN Code of Practice (2014) covers the 0-25 age range and includes guidance relating to disabled children and young people as well as those with special educational needs;

  • There is a clearer focus on the participation of children, young people and parents in decision-making at individual and strategic levels.
  • There is a stronger focus on high aspirations and on improving outcomes for children and young people.
  • It includes guidance on the joint planning and commissioning of services to ensure close co-operation between education, health and social care.
  • It includes guidance on publishing a Local Offer of support for children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities
  • For children and young people with more complex needs, a coordinated assessment process and the new 0-25 Education, Health and Care plan (EHC plan) replace statements and Learning Difficulty Assessments (LDAs)
  • There is a greater focus on support that enables those with SEN to succeed in their education and make a successful transition to adulthood
