Students are expected to have their clear pencil cases out on their desk from the beginning of every lesson.
Homework
We use Google Classroom to set homework. Your teacher will invite you to a virtual classroom where you will be able to communicate
with your teachers about your learning and see the assignments you need to do, access resources, collaborate with your peers and submit assignments. It keeps everything in one place so you know where to find everything. Don't worry if you've never used google classroom before, we will give you and your parents/carers all the training and guidance you need when you start.
Inclusion
The Inclusion department works collaboratively with all Home Schools and departments across the Academy to ensure that students are able to access and enjoy all aspects of Academy life. As an Academy, we ensure that students have access to an appropriate level of support, enabling them to become confident, resilient and independent learners. Our aim is to ensure that all students reach their academic and social potential, and are fully prepared for the next stage of their journey into further and higher education, training and employment.
The Inclusion department is based in the Symphony Centre. We deliver a range of interventions that support students to make progress academically, socially and emotionally. Interventions may include specific dyslexia interventions, literacy and numeracy support, speech and language group interventions, social skills group interventions, counselling and mentoring. We work with a range of external practitioners to ensure that our programmes of support are highly effective, and personalised to meet individual student needs.
If you have any additional questions about the Inclusion department, please contact Hannah Loughlin - Assistant Principal, Inclusions & SEND SENCo email address hannah.loughlin@scwa.org.uk
