SEND
At Leeds City Academy we recognise the need to provide an inclusive, supportive and positive learning environment. The skill, enthusiasm and supportive attitude of the class teacher is the key to effective learning for all students, in particular those with SEND. We recognise that all students, inclusive of those with SEND, need targeted teacher input to meet their individual needs, improve their confidence and self-esteem and enable them to achieve and maximise their full potential.
High quality teaching, personalised and scaffolded for individual students, is the first step in responding to students who have SEND. Through high quality CPD opportunities we aim for every teacher to become a confident teacher of SEND. Additional intervention and support cannot compensate for a lack of inclusive quality first teaching.
In addition, we support the strategies used to enable students with English as an Additional Language to be successful learners.
Our Academy’s In Partnership Values help to sustain a welcoming, effective and inclusive Academy culture by encouraging students to be resilient, aspirational, tolerant, professional, caring and respectful.

It shows families what they can expect from a range of local agencies including education, health and social care.
