Stephenson Academy is a successful 80 place special school, which opened in 2012. It has a main site, which caters for 11-16 year olds. They have an associated independent sixth form provision for 16-19 year olds.
Stephenson Academy prides itself on the broad and balanced curriculum offer available to all students. The curriculum is designed to be both progressive and ambitious for our students. They know that everyone is different; some of us have strong academic abilities and others have strong vocational abilities and the curriculum reflects this. They aim to personalise the curriculum to meet the students needs.
As a specialist academy they cater for students who have Education and Health Care Plans with an identified primary need of Social Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties (SEMH), many with associated challenging behaviour. Many of the students have additional special educational needs such as speech, language and communication difficulties, Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and mental health difficulties.
Selection Criteria: Selective
Stephenson Academy is a Specialist provision for students whose primary need is Social Emotional and Mental Health. Many of the students have additional language and communication needs, and some additional learning needs.
All children admitted to the school have an Education, Health and Care Plan. The majority of children are admitted to the academy from the age of 11.
Students are only recommended for special schooling after a formal assessment of their educational needs has been made by members of the educational, psychological and medical services in close co-operation with you, as the child's parents. A parental request for a special school is moderated by the Inclusion Panel, using the Local Authority 'Guidelines for Admission to Special Provision', although the final decision rests with a Senior SEN Manager.
If a place is offered at Stephenson Academy, then parents are asked to complete a few forms for administrative purposes. It greatly helps the process of changing schools if these can be completed promptly.
