SEND in Business
- Scaffolded Resources: Utilise specific resources designed for SEND students, which often focus on promoting engagement and delivering effective support. These can include simplified questions, tasks and targeted activities.
- Focus on Core Skills: For lower-achieving students, focus on building fundamental exam skills and techniques for various question types, which can boost their confidence and grades.
- Prioritize High-Quality Teaching: teacher development, particularly in strategies like vocabulary building and scaffolding for weaker readers, to ensure all students can access the curriculum.
- Diverse Business Role Models: Introduce students to role models from similar backgrounds who have succeeded in business. This helps counter the perception that certain professions are inaccessible to them.
- Build Confidence with Exam Technique: For lower-achieving students, focus on fundamental exam skills for different question types to boost their confidence and grades.

SEND in Geography
In Geography, we are committed to ensuring that all students, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), thrive and succeed. Geography offers rich opportunities for SEND students to engage through visual, practical, and real-world contexts, making learning accessible and meaningful.
To support SEND students effectively, we use a range of strategies designed to remove barriers and promote independence.
How We Support SEND Students in Geography:
- Dual-Coded Instructions: Example: When explaining map skills, instructions include written steps alongside annotated diagrams showing how to plot grid references or draw a compass rose.
- Explicit Teaching of Key Vocabulary: Example: Words like “erosion,” “urbanisation,” or “latitude” are introduced with clear definitions, images, and real-life examples. Vocabulary is revisited regularly.
- Narrated Teacher Demonstrations: Example: While modelling how to interpret a climate graph, the teacher explains each step aloud, highlighting key features such as temperature and rainfall trends.
- Videos to Support Key Concepts: Example: Before studying coastal processes, students watch a short video showing waves eroding cliffs, which they can replay to reinforce understanding.
- Writing Frames and Structured Templates: Example: For case studies, students use a template with prompts like “Location of the place…,” “Causes of the hazard…,” and “Impacts on people and environment…” to guide their responses.
- Chunking of Tasks and Instructions: Example: When completing a fieldwork write-up, tasks are broken down: “First describe the location, then explain the method, then present your results…” so students can focus on one stage at a time.
- Strategic Grouping and Seating: Example: Students who need extra support are paired with confident peers, promoting collaboration and reducing anxiety.

SEND in History
History provides universal provision within lessons to ensure they are accessible by design for all students. This includes the use of modelling in Direct Instruction phases and guided practice to build confidence to work independently, as well as chunking work through using “First, Next, Then” allowing students to work independently in stages.
We also have vocabulary sheets for every unit to support with understanding and using unit specific vocabulary. This developed through teaching key vocabulary using the embedded learning routines of choral response, turn and talk and mini-whiteboards. Students are asked to develop a glossary of key words in their books over the year that go further than the core knowledge maps. Every lesson includes sentence starters as scaffolding to help students get started with answering extended writing tasks.
