Special Educational Needs & Disabilities

City Academy Whitehawk is proud of its work to ensure that the best endeavours are sustained to enable all children to be successful at school. Our SENDCo, Gabby Gosztonyi, works skilfully with all of our colleagues to ensure that our SEND offer is excellent. In May 2024, Ofsted noted: 'The support for pupils with SEND is of the highest standard. Staff’s adaptations and understanding of pupils’ needs are thorough and responsive. Pupils across the school develop their knowledge in different subjects and make meaningful links between topics. Staff usually check pupils’ understanding carefully, and effective adaptations are made to close gaps in knowledge.'

Working collaboratively with our network of SENDCos across the Aurora Academies Trust professional network ensures that our learner-focused practice is not only up to date but innovative and impactful.
