Accrington Academy is an inclusive school. We aim to create a learning environment which is flexible enough to meet the needs of all members of the school community.
We shape and develop provision for all of our learners, ensuring achievement for all. We also work to create an inclusive culture and aim to be responsive to the diversity of children's backgrounds, interests, experience, knowledge and skill.
The Academy works closely with many specialist support providers who are able to work with us in supporting student to access learning. Students who are experiencing medical or personal problems are fully supported to enable them to integrate quickly into school life and their curriculum.
At some stage in a students educational career they will experience times when they need additional support with their learning. We place an emphasis on strong support for students with additional needs. These needs may be learning, social, emotional, behavioural or medical.
We provide individual, small group and classroom support for all students that require extra help to be successful and make progress with their learning. The learning of these students is monitored carefully and intervention strategies are put in place quickly to ensure students make the progress they are capable of. Students are supported with strategies that will help them in their classroom and around the school.
