All students receive access to a broad and balanced curriculum

Broadway Academy has an ethos of inclusion.  We are committed to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to achieve their best, become confident individuals with fulfilling lives and make a successful transition into adulthood, whether into employment, further or higher education or training.

Quality First Teaching (QFT) is a measure of effective practice.  Our class teachers provide an educational experience that allows for all children and young people, including those with SEND to make expected progress or better.  Teachers assess the needs of all pupils and plan how they will meet their needs in the classroom to allow pupils to make expected progress or better.  Additional intervention and support cannot compensate for a lack of good quality teaching.  Quality first teaching is part of the graduated response cycle of assess, plan, do and review.​

There are three broad tiers of support above quality first teaching. This is not a linear model; some pupils with SEND will receive a personalised programme of support that may encompass one or more tiers.

Support is reviewed at least twice per year; in some cases more frequently.  Provision within an Education, Health and Care Plan is discussed and amended as necessary in the Annual Review.
