Marton Primary Academy are part of Bright Futures Educational Trust, a multi-academy trust set up in 2011. The Trust is made up of a richly diverse group of schools in Greater Manchester and Blackpool.  We are passionate about working together within and beyond the Trust to achieve our aspirational vision: the best for everyone, the best from everyone. We are an organisation that is underpinned by values of: community, integrity and passion. In everything we do, we remember that we are accountable to the children, families and communities that we serve.

Marton Primary Academy has a long standing and successful commitment to inclusive and high-quality education for all pupils. Our vision is for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to enjoy their education in the most inclusive environment possible and be supported in participating as fully as they can in the lives of their schools and their local community.

Some pupils who have an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) to meet their special needs require a higher level of specialist support than can be provided in a mainstream setting. However, their needs are not so complex or severe that they require a place at a special school. To meet this need, Marton Primary Academy in partnership with Blackpool Children’s Services has developed an Additionally Resourced Provision on site for nursery and primary aged children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD).

Pupils who are admitted to The Marton Suite are absolutely pupils of Marton Primary Academy & Nursery. We have created a provision that will include numerous opportunities for inclusion within mainstream classes and wider school life. This provision is being carefully developed so that staff, pupils, parents and carers benefit from close and integrated working between the special and the mainstream provision, taking the best from both approaches and creating a holistic, inclusive ‘Marton’ provision with high aspirations for all. 

Children will be based predominately in 4 bespoke classroom areas, according to their need. There is a separate entrance the Suite for use at school drop off and pick up. For the majority of the time the pupils would be supported with a greater adult to pupil ratio throughout the school day including unstructured times. The provision will be resourced with a specialist team of teaching and support staff in order to ensure the needs of pupils are met effectively.

The facilities have been designed to meet the special needs of the pupils and to promote inclusion. The design will take account of the sensory environment, including the proximity of others and visual and auditory stimulation. Each class base will have a its own secure outdoor play and learning area.

All our staff do the very best they can for all of the children in their care. They go above and beyond to ensure that every child has the best opportunity to be the very best they can be. We are reflective in our practice and highly value your professional development
