The teaching and support staff at Abbey CE Academy have a range of have expertise and experience in areas of special needs. Staff are trained in the Read, Write, Inc. Phonics Programme, Talk for Writing and Effective Maths, ongoing professional development continues throughout the year with these approaches to teaching as well as in recognising and managing various special educational needs.
Lots of thought, planning and preparation goes into using our support staff to ensure children achieve the best academic outcomes, gain independence and are prepared for learning in the future from the earliest possible age.
Teaching Assistants are used in the classrooms where support is most needed. They also carry out 1:1 and small group interventions as well as supporting in class.
We have prepared a full report covering the whole range of our SEND work which is available below.
