Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
At Dukesgate Academy we strive to ensure our school is offering the best inclusive provision for our children and families.We are a strong team who are dedicated to tailoring learning to every child’s needs irrespective of gender, race or disability. Dukesgate Academy has an Equality Policy and ensures that there is equality of opportunity and those children with Special Education Needs and Disabilities are not disadvantaged.
We strongly believe in helping every pupil reach their full potential. Sometimes our children may need a little extra help and support to succeed in their education and social interactions. Positive relationships between adults and children are paramount. From the very beginning, our children learn that we are safe and trustworthy adults, who are reliable and approachable, who will listen and value their opinions and beliefs and remain consistent.
The staff in school support children with a variety of needs. Children at SEN support will be placed on the SEN register with parental consent and consultation and will be part of an ongoing process called Assess-Plan-Do-Review. This enables all people involved with children who have additional needs to set personal targets, monitor progress, review and plan next steps.
You can contact our SEND team, Miss Ellis and Mrs Leech, in a variety of ways; through the school office, speak over the telephone, make an appointment, or write to school . We will endeavour to find time to listen to any worries or concerns as soon as possible.

The school’s SEND Policy and related documents have been written in consultation with representatives from a cross-section of our school community to meet the requirements of the 2014 Children & Families Act and other relevant legislation. We strive for pupils with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities to have access to every part of our curriculum, making reasonable adjustments where necessary to ensure their engagement and success.
