Inclusion / SEND Department
Perryfields
Academy is a fully inclusive mainstream secondary school, which is committed to
meeting the needs of all students, including those with special educational
needs and disabilities (SEND). We aim to celebrate their success and increase
their development through a diverse mainstream curriculum with integrated
specialist support and varied teaching styles so that they gain the skills and
confidence they need in their future lives. All members of Perryfields Academy
are entitled to be valued equally and to enjoy respect as individuals.
Our aim
is to identify any student’s SEND as early as possible in order to put in place
appropriate interventions and resources. Students who face challenges in their
learning, despite receiving high-quality teaching, will be likely to need
additional strategies, or different provision, in order to meet their needs,
removing barriers to learning by deploying effective special educational
provision. We also have a specialist team to support students with SEMH needs.
There is
a wide range of interventions and provisions on offer at Perryfields and these
are open to all students. We run over 20 intervention sessions per week. These
range from: Sandwell Numeracy, VIP, Stairway to Spelling, CBT and socials
skills. Additionally, we run a wide
range of activities to support SEND students including Homework Club, Lunch and
Break Time Social Clubs.
