Kingfisher Academy will provide relevant teaching in line with the National Curriculum for pupils appropriate to both their emotional and educational situation. The curriculum is delivered by highly experienced and qualified teachers who are supported by a team of Teaching Assistants, Higher Level Teaching Assistants and Learning Mentors; this enables us to offer a high level of support to the children. Alongside the subject sessions, there are therapeutic sessions such as occupational therapy, art therapy, drama therapy and other group therapies, such as group talking therapies for example.

Upon admission, information will be sought from the child’s mainstream placement regarding their prior attainment, attendance and targets. Education and Healthcare Plans and Individual Education Plans will be requested where in place. It is essential that all involved parties work in partnership in order to provide the best continuity of education and support for each child.

Each child has a personalised individual learning programme designed in conjunction with them in order to address their academic needs whilst supporting their social and emotional wellbeing.
