Special Educational Needs

Special Educational Needs

At The Sir Robert Woodard Academy, the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) department is committed to applying the principles of inclusion as stated by the SEND Code of Practice 2015.

SRWA is committed to providing a highly inclusive learning environment. SRWA has extremely high expectations for all pupils including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and/or Additional Needs.

SRWA aims to be inclusive by:

 • Collaboratively creating a positive and supportive learning environment for all pupils
 • Building an ongoing holistic understanding of pupils and their needs following the ‘assess, plan, do, review’ approach
 • Ensuring all pupils have access to high quality teaching following a planned, broad and balanced curriculum
 • Complimenting high quality Inclusive teaching with carefully selected small groups and one to one interventions
 • Effectively deploying support staff


Every teacher is responsible for the development of every student in their class. Students with SEND may require a Pupil Passport which provides strategies to Teachers on how they can support these students in their lessons. Students with an EHCP will have an Annual Review whereby the targets set in the EHCP will be discussed, reviewed and planned for. Students with High Needs may require a Learning Plan, developed by the SENCO or Inclusion Manager, which will set targets that will be reviewed with parents/carers and the students in a Termly Review Meeting.

If you have any questions regarding SEND please get in touch with a member of the SEND administrator:

Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator: Mr R Langstone
Inclusion Manager: Mr S Stott
SEND administrator: Ms A Okines
