SEND

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

At The Langley Academy, we are committed to giving our students opportunities to achieve their potential, by taking into consideration their varied learning needs. We offer a broad, balanced curriculum with high expectations for all children. We also strive to be an inclusive school and actively seek to remove the barriers to learning through quality first teaching and extra interventions where necessary.

Regular in-school CPD sessions are held to update school staff on appropriate strategies to support students in mainstream lessons.

The school also has a dedicated Hearing Resource Base which is an acoustically treated space for students with a moderate to profound hearing loss as their main need. Places are allocated through a consultation process with the Slough SEND department for students who have an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP).

Students attached to the Base are allocated to mainstream House Tutor groups and will spend at least 60% of their lessons in the mainstream lessons with some additional support. These students will access the Resource Base for relevant interventions and specialist teaching as outlined on their EHCPs delivered by Teachers of the Deaf and other specialists.

Our SEND Team offer a personalised curriculum and pastoral support to students with SEND where applicable. These provisions are detailed in our SEND Report.
