Our SEND provision supports those with additional needs and disabilities
“Where Every Child Thrives, Nurtured, Succeed Together”
Brackely STEAM Park Academy provides a provision for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and extracurricular activities through STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) syllabus. We have a shared vision to ensure our setting is a happy place, a healthy place, a safe place, and a place where our pupils are nurtured and educated, and to explore the love of learning to gain skills and promote positive wellbeing and develop self-esteem.
We provide an interesting but inspirational setting, and our educational materials are therapeutic for the children.
We warmly welcome everybody into our community, and the dedicated and dependable volunteering staff members and I, along with parents, work together to make our setting a happy, safe, and nurturing setting where children can achieve their full potential and develop as confident individuals. We provide a learning environment that enables all pupils to make the greatest possible progress and achieve their full potential in a caring, supportive, and fully inclusive environment.
Pupils may learn differently and have an intensive interest, and pupils may have a preference for independent play to explore and learn at their own pace without the pressures and fast-paced challenges.
Sessions are in quiet, peaceful morning and afternoon sessions supporting pupils with ASD, social complexities (social communication), social emotional, and mental health (SEMH), cognitive and learning difficulties, sensory needs, dyspraxia, dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD and PDA. Children learn through experiential learning, extra activities, and active discovery learning, including outdoor learning.
Children are freely allowed to print off their work and anything they choose as a preferred interest via their logins.

- Illness and physical disability
- A desire to home school while making use of education settings for some subjects
- Primary setting refusal due to social, emotional and mental health
- Allowing time for integration
- A staggered return to learning after an absence for any reason
- Social communication difficulties and anxiety
