SEND
Thank you for taking the time to visit the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) section of our website. All students have the right to achieve their maximum academic and social potential. At the Academy we believe that all students have learning differences rather than learning difficulties and it is our policy to identify and assess these differences and ensure that learning is supported and differentiated to ensure outstanding progress is made by all students.
We offer a range of support to develop teacher’s expertise and additional support within the classroom, this includes; drop-in sessions, in class training and observations from the SENCO.
We are delighted to say that Belmont Castle Academy has been award The ADHD Friendly School Award.
This is what The ADHD Foundation Neurodiversity Charity had to say about us:
The submission was great and we were struck by how much is going on, the range of supports in place, in particular, the focus on physical activity from involvement in regional and national competitions, the Gym Trail and the use of PE Coaches at lunchtime. The level of resourcing for Emotional Regulation was particularly commented upon, with calm corners, sensory garden and room and the "Calm Me" activities embedded into the curriculum. The group felt that the level of information and signposting for parents was the best that we had seen since we started the award. This confirms what I felt when I visited Belmont Castle Academy, which is that there is outstanding work going on daily for learners with ADHD.
