Special Educational Needs

At Ormiston Venture Academy we believe in participation and attainment for all students, irrespective of their starting points. We have an inclusive culture are responsive to the diversity of student's backgrounds, interests, experience, knowledge and skills. We value high quality first teaching for all students, where students with identified Special Educational Needs are taught alongside students who do not have these identified needs. We have established a learning environment which is flexible and outstanding to meet the needs of all members of our academy community. We monitor progress of all students, and the continuous assessment implemented by staff ensures that progress is maximized. Our Academy wide system for monitoring progress includes half-termly student progress evaluations, six-monthly whole school testing and thorough scrutiny of class work.
We are committed to supporting students to improve their emotional and social development. In order to provide additional support, the academy operates a supervised break and lunch club for identified students, and offers supplementary intervention such as a Tools4Life emotional literacy programme, the ELSA programme and the TITAN independence course.
