SEND

Our SEND Coordinator is Mr N. Williams

SEND at Countesthorpe Academy

Our mission is to enable all children and young people with SEND to achieve the best possible educational and wider outcomes and to make a successful transition into adulthood. This will be achieved through high quality teaching and provision that is differentiated and personalised and will meet the needs of the individual. From early identification, pupils with SEND will receive high quality teaching, support strategies and interventions tailored to their individual needs which will enable them to achieve their full potential.

Early Closure

The Academy will close at 2pm for MAT wide training for staff

13th November 2025

School Buses will depart at 2:10pm.

We will have six lessons as normal, with each lesson being slightly shorter than normal to allow for the early finish, meaning that your child will have the same timetabled lessons for that day.
