Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
Ethos
At Temple Learning Academy, we are committed to ensuring that all our students, whatever their talents or additional needs, find both support and challenge within our curriculum offer. We display a variety of support strategies both within the mainstream classroom and in a small group or individual basis, this enables them to explore the full extent of their academic, creative and personal capabilities and develop a breadth of skills and passions which will follow them into adult life.
We are committed to promoting the welfare and interests of our students with special needs, supporting their families and ensuring we do our best to provide accessibility in terms of curriculum provision, human and physical resources including making reasonable adjustments where necessary. We aim to ensure a successful transition to the next step after Temple Learning Academy.
Leadership
SEND provision at Temple Learning Academy is overseen and led by the Assistant Principal for Inclusion, Miss Lisa Morrell and the Primary SENDCo, Mrs Jennifer Malcolm. The quality of our SEND provision and its impact are regularly reviewed by the Senior Leadership Team and the governing body throughout the year.
Policies
Our policies reflect the school’s commitment to the inclusion, safety and wellbeing of our students. We regularly review our policies to ensure that they and our practice is compliant with relevant legislation.

- Assistant Principal for Inclusion

- Primary Provision Room Manager
- Secondary Lead Practitioner
- SEND Administrator
- team of HLTA's, LA's and Pastoral Advocates
‘’Lucas is a completely different person since joining Temple Learning academy. In short space of time he has been successful in building positive relationships with staff and students, which is one of things he has struggled with in the past. He comes home happy, sees positives of life and sees his ability. His mindset has changed for the better. The inclusion team has been so understanding and communication has been fantastic. They recognise his strengths and make him realise his strengths. I am so impressed. I am filling out an in-year application for Lucas’s siblings as I think they will benefit from being at TLA’’.
