SEND
Saltley Academy has a team of 9 Teaching Assistant and 1 Higher Level Teaching Assistant working to support pupils through a process of targeted withdrawal.
Students who are identified within the mainstream school will benefit from interventions either in small groups or 1:1 to help them to make progress in both literacy and numeracy. This is supported by a HLTA who oversees these interventions alongside the SENDCO and Assistant SENCo.
Where necessary, we also involve advice and support from Birmingham City Council support services : Pupil and School Support, Communication and Autism Team, Sensory and Physical Impairment Support Services and Educational Psychology Department.
Saltley Academy also has The Bridge- Autism Resource Base. The Bridge currently has a team of 5 Teaching Assistant and 1 Higher Level Teaching Assistant working to support pupils both within the classroom and through a process of targeted withdrawal.
Students who access The Bridge will already have an EHCP and a formal diagnosis of Autism. Through the interventions that take place in The Bridge we aim to support students to access the mainstream school and lessons that are right for them. This is supported by a HLTA who oversees the day to day running of The Bridge alongside the SENDCO and Assistant SENCo/Resource Base Manger.
Where necessary, we also involve advice and support from Birmingham City Council support services : Pupil and School Support, Communication and Autism Team, Sensory and Physical Impairment Support Services and Educational Psychology Department.
