The Trust is passionate about Inclusive education for all and welcomes a diversity of culture, religion and intellectual ability, striving to meet the needs of all young people from 3-18 with a learning difficulty, disability, disadvantage or special educational needs.

The Trust believes that all children with a Special Educational Need (SEN) must have their needs recognised and assessed, with appropriate and timely intervention put in place.

News from Worcestershire Children First

Shaping services for children and young people with SEND

The third annual SEND parent carer survey has been launched in Worcestershire.

The survey, which has been co-produced by Families in Partnership and Worcestershire Children First, seeks the views of parents and carers on services for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and is one of the ways that we ask for feedback.

The survey is an essential contribution to the co-production on our SEND improvement. Worcestershire Children First values the feedback as it helps to build on what is working well, ensure we are making progress and highlights areas where further work is needed.

The survey closes at 11.59pm on Sunday 24 April and can be accessed at Parent Carer Survey

Learning Support Department: SEN & Disabilities Inclusive Provision

No Child Left Behind

At Arrow Vale Academy we are passionate about an inclusive education for all. The highly qualified and committed Learning Support team strives to identify and provide the best and most appropriate curriculum and emotional support to meet the individual needs of every student.

Teaching staff are highly qualified in meeting the needs of individual students within differentiated lessons and are supported by a committed and experienced team of an Inclusion Lead & SENCo, HLTAs and Achievement Assistants. Additionally, the Learning Support department offers a range of support via their “Key Worker” role with some SEN and disabled students, supporting achievement, social and emotional needs. Some additional intervention is provided for students who have English as an additional language in liaison with the English Department.

There is also provision to aid students with more structured support, providing extensive opportunities for our students to learn and work beyond the classroom with our Discover Plus programme in year 9. There are break and lunchtime clubs (Learning Resource Centre ’LRC’) which provide a safe environment and opportunities to further develop students’ skills for life. The LRC is also available after school daily for a homework support club 3pm to 3.45pm (3.30pm on a Friday). The LRC has a dedicated range of ‘Dyslexia Friendly’ books which are engaging texts which are presented in a way that benefits those with dyslexia, EAL students and those that find reading challenging.

Exam Access Arrangements

Exam Access Arrangements are considered for every student in the school (external application through JCQ, Pearson and VCTC), and student voice / consultation plays an important part in this process with the SENCo and teaching staff.   Medical evidence of need and a formal SEN diagnosis from a specialist is required as supporting evidence for extra time, a scribe or a reader.

https://www.jcq.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/AA_regs_21-22_v11.pdf

 

Meet the Team

The Learning Support Department and the Library offer a nurturing and caring environment for learning. Students of all ages with various needs and barriers to their learning will always consider the needs and personal circumstance of others. They learn to become more tolerant of others’ experiences and become a supportive family within the school environment.

Progress

Students who are identified for additional literacy and numeracy support, are guided towards a Progress Option at the start of Year 10. The pathway taught by English and Maths Staff offers students opportunities to gain confidence in both subject areas through pre-teaching in small groups. The aim of these sessions is to promote a love of learning, to enhance confidence and self-esteem and learn important cross-curricular skills that are required within regular mainstream lessons. The option will enable the students to be entered for accredited qualifications: Functional Skills English – level 1 and 2; Entry Level Maths and Entry Level Science

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

With a growing number of students arriving at Arrow Vale, from a diverse number of birth cultures, there is a growing need to provide further language support. An EAL Achievement Assistant will support students who arrive at school with English as an additional language. Students where possible, will have the opportunity to study for a GCSE in their native tongue, for example: Polish, Spanish or Russian.

The support and intervention will also assist students further in all academic areas, which will enable them to become more confident and sociable individuals within society.
