Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Oasis’ ethos is based on an overarching theme of Inclusion; welcoming, encouraging and enabling all to achieve their best whatever the challenges may be in doing so. 

As an Academy we:

• Identify children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and ensure provision is made in accordance with the SEND Code of Practice
• Have an appointed SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator)
• Invest in whole Academy and targeted training for staff
• Ensure that teaching is inclusive and support practices are embedded throughout the Academy
• Ensure that all teachers understand that they are teachers of SEND
• Plan for transitions across all Key Stages

"We believe that nothing can be more effective than a teacher who has a deep understanding of a pupil and can, through that knowledge, have the confidence and skill to, with the end goal in mind, intuitively adapt and mould any learning experience."

Who is the best person at the academy to talk to about my child’s Special Educational Need?

We are available to talk to about any issues you may have regarding to the care and education of your child, including whether they may have a special education need, whether their needs are being met or anything in their learning plans.
