Queensbury Academy

Queensbury Academy's inclusive curriculum provision encompasses several strands in ensuring that both pupils with Special Educational Needs and disabilities achieve and aspire. We work with our pupils to support them in becoming independent and resilient learners, enriched with essential life skills.  

The inclusion team offers a wealth of experience in supporting our pupils with Communication and Interaction, Cognition and Learning, Social, Emotional and Mental Health and Sensory and Physical needs. All staff recognise their responsibilities under the Code of Practice for contributing to the identification, assessment and support of pupils with special Educational Needs, drawing on support from external sources where necessary. At Queensbury Academy we adhere to the Graduated approach based on the Guidance from the Bradford Local Authority, in providing for pupils with SEND. This ensures that Pupils make progress in line with their peers and any additional support as part of our Assess-Plan-Do-Review is implemented for each area of SEND for the best possible outcomes. This approach is collaborated with Quality First Teaching in order to ensure that our pupils are able to achieve their potential. Adaptations to provisions are made as needs and requirements change, in line with a person centred approach which seeks to put the voice of the pupil at the heart of what we do.
