SEND
Holderness Academy is a comprehensive secondary school in the East Riding of Yorkshire with an Enhanced Resource Provision (ERP) for Autism.
Holderness Academy is an inclusive school where teaching and learning, achievements, attitude and well-being of every individual are valued. We provide every individual with access to an inclusive curriculum, which will meet the needs of students with special educational needs and disabilities. Provision for students with SEND is regarded as a whole school responsibility.
At Holderness, we provide support for students with a wide range of additional needs covering the four broad areas of need:
-
Communication and interaction
-
Cognition and learning
-
Social, emotional and mental health difficulties
-
Sensory and physical needs
Holderness Academy is able to offer full access for students with physical disabilities and wheelchair users.
Our SEND team host a SENDCo Surgery every half-term to allow parents/carers of students with SEND to come and discuss how we can support their child's needs. Please contact our Learning Support Team regarding any enquiries by emailing learningsupport@holderness.academy.

Enhanced Resource Provision (ERP)
Our Enhanced Resource Provision provides a quiet space at social times for students with Autism.
Based within the heart of our new Learning Support Centre, our ERP room has been designed to be a versatile environment with individual workspaces, comfy seating area and sensory rooms. It bridges the gap for students who are able to achieve and access the mainstream curriculum but who may require some additional assistance during unstructured times throughout the day.
The ERP provides a safe and supportive base for any occasion where the learning environment becomes overstimulating for our students, enabling them to conquer any barriers to learning and develop both socially and academically.
