Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
'The school identifies pupils with SEND swiftly. Staff carefully consider these pupils’ needs. They ensure that appropriate support is put in place, including, for example, through adult support, revisiting vocabulary or having a visual timetable. The support for pupils with SEND is highly effective.'

PINS Project
Park Academy took part in a national project, in association with the Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum, the NHS and The Working Together Team. The partnership for inclusion of neurodiversity in schools project, during last academic year, was to provide support for our learners, our staff and their families with any neurodiversity.
For information on this project, please visit PINS Home
Support for Parents
Schools in the Voyage Education Partnership are supporting parents who are seeking to explore ADHD, Autism or Dyslexia. SENCOs have developed a pathway of support that outlines these steps towards a referral to Community Paediatrics, if required. Please click on the relevant pathways below for more information.
