Like our physical health, we need to be aware of when we it deteriorates and try to keep it in prime condition. We all have mental health in the same way that we all have physical health, it is part of us and we cannot ignore it or take it for granted. Safa is hoping to secure a place on a Postgraduate Law programme. I can honestly say that without the support and guidance the tutors gave me, I don't think I could have secured my degree! However, with the support of my family, friends and university tutors, I turned this around. Whilst resitting my second year, I was dealing with some personal issues and struggled with my mental health. I just wanted to say to those students who ever feel like they are going through a rough patch, or need any sort of guidance/ support - make sure you go directly to the SPA team within the campus as they will help make you feel 100% again!

I graduated in a pandemic, without being on campus and getting the full learning online! I am super proud of myself because I finally did it. You supported me and guided me so much that I now have completed my BSc degree in Business Management & Law! I'm over the moon! I was in a position where I was not sure where my mental health was heading - I was already suffering with anxiety and depression and you helped me out in so many ways that I can't even explain!! I wanted to say a massive thank you for all the help, support and guidance I received during the most crucial year of my degree! I can't explain how much your help meant to me.

All Pupil Passports and short-term plans are written in consultation with parents and are reviewed regularly.Safa Mirza, a Business Management with Law student here at Salford Business School, shares her appreciation for the SPA team and the support offered to her. This may be in addition to short or longer term intervention. This outlines your child’s difficulties, the targets or areas of development they are current working towards and outlines strategies for effective support, teaching and learning. For students whose needs are acute or complex, we may write a Pupil Passport (Individualised Education Plan). Our intervention programmes are outcome based and specifically designed to support individuals’ needs. Parents are always informed of the support their child is accessing, and will be updated regularly. This support may be delivered using teaching staff, our Higher Level Teaching Assistant or our Teaching Assistant. Some students need short-term extra intervention to support their learning in key areas others will need a more sustained programme of support. The Special Educational Needs Coordinator plans and oversees the implementation of any additional support for individual students. We can use some screening testing to assess the areas of difficulty your child may be experiencing, we may also consult their teachers to get an overall picture, or we may refer to an outside agency that can offer specific assessment and support. We are committed to a personalised approach to support students’ individual needs.

We always welcome the opportunity to speak to parents and carers, including prospective parents/carers and students if you are considering joining us we would encourage you to contact the SEND team for more information about our provision or to arrange a tour of the academy. Through partaking with their fellow students, life-long skills and interests will be developed through our clubs and societies, with the hope that many of our students will develop a passion that will be pursued long after they leave Boston Spa Academy. Our focus is to provide an environment which allows our SEND students to grow into confident young adults who show kindness and respect to all others and truly enjoy their learning.Īs well as their academic journey with us, students with SEND are actively encouraged to participate in our extensive Enrichment++ programme. Working with parents/carers and students as partners in their education, we work to ensure all needs are met and any potential barriers to learning are overcome.

Students with SEND who attend Boston Spa Academy receive help and support, along with personalised teaching, to be able to access and thrive in their academic learning in line with their peers. Each of our students with Special Educational Needs Disabilities (SEND) has their own individual aspirations which are nurtured and encouraged by the range of professionals who work closely with them on a day-to-day basis. Our school community is made up of students from different backgrounds with different perspectives and life journeys.
