SEND Provision

Tame Valley Academy has a SENDCO (Miss L Ellis) and a Governor with lead responsibility for SEND. The school identifies, assesses and supports pupils with SEND, tailoring support to each child’s needs. Most support is provided in class, with some pupils benefitting from small group work or, in some cases, input from external specialists as part of an Education, Health and Care Plan. The academy provides SEND information (SEND Information Report 2026) and additional plans and resources, including EAL support and the Quicker to Achieve framework.

Admissions Criteria

Admissions are administered by Birmingham City Council. Criteria include: children looked after by the Local Authority; children with siblings at the academy; and those living nearest to the academy by straight-line distance. Nursery admissions have non-statutory criteria and eligibility can include up to 30 hours of free childcare for eligible three- and four-year-olds. In-year admissions are available; places are allocated with class sizes up to 30.
