SEND
At Ormiston SWB Academy, students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) are supported to be respectful, responsible learners and will always experience a first-class education.
We believe in early identification to ensure we can support individual student needs and provide the best learning environment to strengthen student progress. We provide a fully inclusive curriculum and programme of enrichment activities, ensuring that student success and achievement can be celebrated.
Within the SEND Department, we are fully committed to the key priorities for development for the academic year 2024-2025:
- Improve behaviour and culture
- Improve outcomes
- Improve reading
- Develop great teaching
- Develop pupil independence
- Improve attendance (with particular reference to KS4) reducing persistent absence

The SEND Inclusion Award provides a framework to ensure that OSWBA delivers high-quality education for pupils with SEND. The framework focuses on removing barriers to learning through early identification, inclusive teaching and leadership, providing the opportunity to evaluate impact and improve classroom practice and pupil outcomes.
During October 2023, Ormiston SWB Academy received a verification visit, confirming that the Academy delivers high-quality education and provision for students identified with Special Educational Needs.
