SEND

Special Educational Needs provision is a very important aspect of our academy. At Dormanstown Primary Academy, we consider inclusion fundamentally as equality of opportunity and we have identified three strands to the creation of a fully inclusive Academy: the creation of inclusive cultures; having inclusive policies; evolving and sharing inclusive practices.  

At Dormanstown Primary Academy, we have underpinned this ethos by establishing an Pastoral, Welfare & Inclusion Team who work in partnership to support all vulnerable learners.

Within our provision, we have a 49 place High Needs SEN Unit. Places are commissioned by Redcar & Cleveland Local Authority for children from across the borough whose primary need is communication and interaction and/or ASD. The unit provision is for pupils who have an Education Health & Care Plan (EHCP) and for whom it has been agreed at a Multi Agency Education and Health Panel that this provision can meet the pupil needs as identified in their EHCP.

Please see the SEND Information Report for further information.
