Special Educational Needs & Disabilities 

At Wixams Academy, we are committed to creating an inclusive community where every learner is valued, supported and given the opportunity to thrive. Our values of high standards, hard work and kindness underpin our approach to inclusion and shape the way we support every young person.

We believe true inclusion means enabling learners with special educational needs and disabilities to learn, grow and succeed alongside their peers. We have high aspirations for all our students and work to understand their individual strengths, needs and barriers to learning so that they can access the right support at the right time.

Our aim is to enrich, nurture and develop every learner as an individual. Through high-quality teaching, appropriate adaptations and targeted support, we strive to ensure that all students can participate fully in school life and achieve their potential.

Inclusion is the responsibility of our whole school community. We work closely with students, parents and carers, our SEND team and external professionals to understand and meet individual needs.

At Wixams Academy, we celebrate difference and believe that every young person should be encouraged to work hard, aim high and treat others with kindness.
