The Balanced System

At Dover Christ Church Academy we embrace the ethos of inclusion. We believe that every child in our Academy should be encouraged, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential. We strive to create a community where pupils feel safe, valued, respected and have their voices heard, whatever their needs or abilities.

We are fully committed to providing the most appropriate support and intervention for each pupil with SEND. We work collaboratively with parents / carers and a range of external partners, in order to ensure pupils with SEND are identified, supported and included in all aspects of academy life.

The Balanced System

Our school works to support speech, language and communication with support from our NHS link Speech and Language Therapist as well as specialist teachers. Your child may come into contact with them within their classroom or around school. The SENCo Mr Michael will have regular meetings with the link therapist to discuss our school’s provision.

If you have any concerns about your child’s speech, language or communication skills, please speak to your child’s class teacher in the first instance.

If we have discussed a specific concern with you about your child’s speech, language or communication, or you have raised a concern, we will decide together whether to discuss this with our link therapist. You will be kept informed of any plans to support your child.
