SEND Provision

We use a graduated approach to identifying and supporting needs, starting with quality first teaching strategies in class. All staff are committed to providing the best possible education for all children, irrespective of need, to ensure that all our pupils achieve their potential. The Berkeley Academy has a small number of children whose needs require an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). These children have a more formal plan of support which is reviewed yearly. Children without an EHCP have Support Plans which are reviewed termly in partnership with pupils, parents and staff. As a school we have close links with the Educational Psychologist, CEAT (Cheshire East Autism Team), Speech & Language, Sensory Processing Occupational Therapists, CAMHS Link Team, Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy.
