SEND & Inclusion
At Merchants' Academy, we offer a strength-based, student-centered approach that promotes social mobility and inclusivity. As a department, we support students to become independent, resilient learners and members of the school and wider community. We also support teachers to understand each pupil as an individual and implement reasonable adjustments using adaptive teaching methods to enable them to engage with the school community.
We work with pupils, parents, staff and external agencies to identify barriers, assess pupils’ needs, plan individualised interventions and review the progress that they make, fostering a culture of respect that translates beyond the academic.
We support pupils to engage in opportunities so that they develop a belief in themselves to have high aspirations, to take risks and achieve their full potential. We aim to develop resilient, well-rounded citizens with effective communication skills and emotional intelligence so that they can thrive in their future lives.
At Merchants' Academy, our values are courage, hard work and kindness. Student wellbeing and safety are central, and we strive to create an environment that celebrates differences and prepares students for life and work in the 21st century.
If you have any further questions please contact SEND Co-Ordinator.
