At Inspire Academy we aim to provide a curriculum that is appropriate to the needs and abilities of all our children. We plan our teaching and learning in such a way that we enable each child to reach for the highest level of personal achievement. We believe that all teachers are teachers of special educational needs.
The SEND team is led by Miss Emma Richards who works closely with other SEN leaders at academies within the Trust and also with the Tameside Local Authority. At Inspire, Miss Richards is the day-to-day contact for parents and is also supported by highly experienced teaching assistants.
Should parents have any concerns about their child in relation to SEND they should contact their class teacher first and then Miss Richards by making an appointment at the office.
As a school, we are working closely with the British Dyslexia Association to improve our understanding of dyslexia and to develop the support we offer to our dyslexic learners. We believe that changing practice to accommodate dyslexic learners results in greater levels of achievement and engagement for all learners.
