Overview of How 'Yr Academi' Supports Pupils with Diverse Needs
The class offers a nurturing, inclusive environment tailored to meet the specific needs of each pupil, recognising that every child is unique and learns in different ways. This bespoke approach allows us to provide targeted interventions while promoting their full integration into the school community.
Pupils in 'Yr Academi' benefit from individualised development plans (IDPs) that are developed in close collaboration with families, teachers, and external specialists. These plans address each child’s unique challenges, strengths, and aspirations. The class operates as part of a graduated response to additional learning needs, meaning that pupils receive varying levels of support depending on their evolving needs. Some children may require temporary intensive support, while others might have longer-term needs that are more effectively met in this environment.
'Yr Academi' follows a structured routine designed to provide predictability, helping pupils feel secure and focused. The small class size allows for close, personalised attention from experience staff trained in working with children with diverse needs. The highly flexible nature of the class allows it to respond dynamically to the children’s needs, adapting teaching strategies and interventions as necessary.
The class also emphasises inclusion. Pupils spend part of their day in mainstream classes where appropriate, ensuring they remain connected to their peers and experience the broader school curriculum. This balance fosters a sense of belonging and helps maintain vital social relationships while ensuring their academic and developmental needs are met. Ultimately, 'Yr Academi' aims to provide a holistic, responsive learning environment where pupils can thrive both academically and socially.

Academic Support
In 'Yr Academi,' we focus on providing a tailored academic experience that recognises and responds to the diverse learning needs of each child. We understand that children with additional learning needs often require alternative methods of teaching and more personalised instruction to reach their full potential. Our small class size, with a maximum of 12 pupils, ensures that each child receives the individualised support necessary for their academic success.
Teaching in 'Yr Academi' is led by experienced staff who have training in working with children with additional learning needs. Lessons are designed to be flexible, taking into account each pupil's learning style, pace, and ability. The class follows a bespoke curriculum that aligns with the mainstream curriculum where possible, but with adaptations that make it accessible and meaningful for the children in our care. For instance, multi-sensory teaching methods are employed to engage pupils more actively in their learning, particularly for those who benefit from visual, auditory, or tactile learning.
In addition to the core subjects, we place a strong emphasis on developing foundational skills, such as literacy, numeracy, and communication, at a pace appropriate for each child. Individual development plans, developed in collaboration with families and educational specialists, help to ensure that specific academic goals are set and progress is regularly reviewed. Pupils are continually assessed in a discrete and supportive manner, with feedback and adjustments made to their learning plans as needed.
The integration into mainstream classes for parts of the day also provides opportunities for pupils in 'Yr Academi' to engage in subjects where they may excel, or at times when it is developmentally appropriate, helping them build confidence in their abilities. The goal is to provide a balanced academic experience that challenges each child appropriately, while offering the support they need to succeed and grow.

Trwy ganolbwyntio ar eu twf cymdeithasol ac emosiynol, anelwn at arfogi disgyblion â’r sgiliau sydd eu hangen arnynt i adeiladu gwytnwch, ffurfio perthnasoedd iach, a datblygu’r hyder i lywio bywyd ysgol a’r byd ehangach.
Rydym yn deall bod rhai plant ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol yn aml yn cael anawsterau o ran rheoleiddio emosiynol, rhyngweithio cymdeithasol, a hunanhyder.

Agwedd sylfaenol ar ein rhaglen datblygiad cymdeithasol ac emosiynol yw llythrennedd emosiynol. Yn 'Yr Academi,' rydym yn rhoi pwyslais mawr ar helpu plant i ddeall a chyfleu eu hemosiynau.

Social and Emotional Development
At 'Yr Academi,' social and emotional development is central to our approach, recognising that many children with additional learning needs encounter challenges that extend beyond the academic sphere. We are committed to creating a nurturing, supportive environment that promotes each child’s overall wellbeing. By focusing on their social and emotional growth, we aim to equip pupils with the skills they need to build resilience, form healthy relationships, and develop the confidence to navigate both school life and the wider world.
We understand that some children with additional learning needs often experience difficulties in emotional regulation, social interactions, and self-confidence. To address these needs, 'Yr Academi' offers a safe, structured environment where pupils are encouraged to express themselves openly, learn to manage their emotions, and build meaningful relationships with both peers and staff. This is achieved through consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and a focus on creating a sense of belonging and security. By fostering a supportive atmosphere, we help children feel understood and valued, which is crucial for their emotional growth.
Social skills development is a key part of the daily routine at 'Yr Academi.' We integrate structured activities that encourage teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. Role-playing exercises are also used to help children navigate common social situations, such as making friends, resolving conflicts, or asking for help. Activities provide children with opportunities to develop and practise essential social skills in a safe, supportive environment, which can then be transferred to mainstream classes and social settings outside of school.
A fundamental aspect of our social and emotional development programme is emotional literacy. At 'Yr Academi,' we place great emphasis on helping children understand and articulate their emotions. Pupils are taught to identify and manage their feelings through strategies such as the ‘Zones of Regulation’ or similar strategies tailored to their individual needs. Our staff are trained to provide targeted emotional support, offering one-on-one or small-group interventions for pupils who need additional help in managing their emotions. We aim to build each child’s emotional resilience, helping them face difficulties with greater confidence and self-assurance.
In addition to structured emotional literacy programmes, we also focus on fostering a positive, inclusive social environment where pupils can form friendships and develop a sense of community. Pupils in 'Yr Academi' are encouraged to maintain connections with their peers through regular integration into mainstream classes for parts of the day. This inclusion helps them to feel a part of the broader school community, preventing feelings of isolation and promoting the development of friendships. This holistic approach ensures that children not only succeed academically but also thrive emotionally and socially, laying a strong foundation for their future wellbeing and success.

Sensory and Physical Accommodations
'Yr Academi' is designed to cater to the sensory and physical needs of pupils, recognising that many children with additional learning needs experience sensory sensitivities or physical challenges that can affect their ability to learn. Our classroom environment and teaching methods are carefully adapted to create a space where every child feels comfortable, safe, and ready to engage.
The physical environment of 'Yr Academi' is set up with sensory considerations in mind. We provide a calm, low-stimulation setting that reduces distractions and helps children focus on their learning. For pupils who are sensitive to noise or visual clutter, we use tools such as noise-cancelling headphones, sensory cushions, and visual timetables to make the learning space as accommodating as possible. Our classroom is equipped with adjustable furniture that allows for flexible seating arrangements, ensuring that children can work in a way that best suits their physical comfort and learning needs.
In addition to sensory-friendly design, we incorporate sensory breaks into the school day. These breaks allow children to regulate their sensory input and prevent them from becoming overwhelmed. We also have a sensory area, which provides a calming environment where pupils can relax and reset if they feel overstimulated or anxious. This helps them to remain focused and engaged in their learning throughout the day.
For pupils with physical disabilities or mobility challenges, 'Yr Academi' ensures that all areas are fully accessible. Adaptive technologies, such as voice-to-text software or specialised keyboards, are available to support pupils in completing their work. We collaborate with occupational therapists and other professionals to ensure that children receive the necessary physical support and accommodations to participate fully in school life.
By addressing sensory and physical needs holistically, 'Yr Academi' aims to create a supportive environment where every child can thrive, ensuring that barriers to learning are minimised and all pupils have the opportunity to succeed academically and socially.
