Special Education needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Aston Manor Academy ensures that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, are offered Quality First teaching to enable them to make the best possible progress in a mainstream setting, all so they are completely prepared for adulthood. The SEND Inclusion team works symbiotically with highly-skilled pastoral leaders with a highly-effective, embedded and robust pastoral system that offers extensive, personalised pastoral support to all students, including SEND students – whatever their needs.

We work within the framework of the Single Equality Act 2010 and the 2014 Code of Practice, where SEND students are supported with differentiated tasks and personalised reasonable adjustments when their needs are different from, or additional, to those of their peers.

The SEND department offers a systematic programme of interventions that run throughout the year as part of a graduated response. Such programmes are carefully planned and highly effective in raising  our pupils’ attainment and developing their social, emotional and mental health needs.

Useful external resources

As part of the Birmingham schools community, Aston Manor Academy works closely with Birmingham City Council. The Birmingham Local Offer provides information for families and young people with SEND so that they can access support and advice all in one  place. Some families may not know about the local offer and have not accessed the website – we want to promote the site and help families to help themselves. Links to the video and key documents are below:
