‘To ensure that all young people at Castle View Academy have fair access to an equally ambitious curriculum, that enables personal success for the future.’
Our school currently provides additional support and adaptive teaching to support students to make good or better progress.
The Ordinarily Available Provision document can be found here. This is the provision that the local authority expects to be made available for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

To support with inclusion, we also have the Pathways Team who strive to engage some of our hardest to reach students through tailor made interventions.
Students can receive a range of support during their time at the Academy. SEND and Inclusion support is broken down into three waves.
Wave 1: Quality First Teaching, The Ordinarily Available Provision and internal interventions.
Wave 2: All interventions listed in Wave 1 plus listing on the SEND register, Educational Support Plans, Pathways provision and External Agency Support (Local Offer).
Wave 3: All interventions listed in Wave 1 and 2 plus Educational Health and Care needs assessments or plans, Pathways and Alternative Provisions.
Castle View Academy strive to ensure that all lessons are adaptive and allow all students, regardless of their need, have the opportunity to experience success.
Teachers and other adults in the classroom work closely together to give targeted support according to your child’s needs.
According to his or her individual needs, your child may be placed on an SEN Plan and be provided with one or more of the following types of support.
Sometimes, an outside specialist may be involved with your child. This may be someone from the Local Authority central services, such as an Educational Psychologist, a Speech Therapist, an Occupational Therapist, or an Advisory Teacher. Outside specialist support may also include CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) and MHST.
You will always be asked to give your permission for the school to refer your child to a specialist professional. This will help the school and you to understand your child’s specific needs better and advise on effective support and interventions.
On the occasions where a child has a significant, severe, and sustained need, it may be necessary to enter a multi-agency process and request an Education, Health and Care Needs assessment.
This type of support is for children whose learning needs are severe, complex, and lifelong. An EHC Plan will outline the outcomes expected, and the types of support your child will receive from the Local Authority and how this should be used. It will also outline what strategies are to be put in place for your child along with long and short-term goals. An additional adult may be used to support your child with working in class, one to one sessions or small group work involving your child.
