Exceptional Education at the Heart of the Community

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Oasis Academy Isle of Sheppey is committed to continuing to improve the classroom provision for all students so that we can meet the needs of all students including those with additional needs. There is an expectation that all students, regardless of their specific needs, should be offered inclusive teaching which will enable them to make progress and ensure they can move onto their chosen pathway when they leave school.

We believe that all students should be nurtured so that they grow into young capable adults who can integrate into society successfully and go onto to build purposeful and fulfilling lives in the local community. In order to support this vision of nurture we are part of one of the Nurture UK pilot schemes and hope to spread this philosophy through the school over the coming academic years.

As part of our dedication to providing the best possible provision for all students we are proud to have developed the Inspire provision which are a series of nurture groups aimed at developing students’ cognitive ability, literacy and numeracy skills as well as improving their social and emotional development. More specific information can be found as part of the SEN Information report.
