SEND

At Queen Katharine Academy, an inclusive centre of educational excellence, SEND provision ensures that all students, in every classroom, including those with different needs, can overcome their barriers, make excellent progress and reach their potential.

At Queen Katharine Academy we believe in promoting each individual learner, within a supportive and secure environment, where they can develop into confident young people, adequately equipped and prepared academically, socially and emotionally for life ahead in our modern, multicultural society.

We are committed to supporting learners with a range of Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities to reach their potential by identifying and striving to remove any barriers to learning. Our support seeks to be person-centred and sustained through a coordinated partnership with parents and professionals, to ensure that the provision we put in place will cultivate confidence and positive self-esteem, enabling learners to achieve their future ambitions and reach their potential.
