At Hailsham Academy we are an all through school which includes pre-school, primary and secondary phases.
We are an inclusive school. This means we provide for students with all types of special educational needs. If you wish to apply for a place for a child who has an EHC plan, contact your Assessment and Planning Officer at East Sussex County Council. If you wish to apply for a place for any other child with special educational needs, you should apply as normal, and your application will be considered in the same way as applications from children without special educational needs.
Any queries about Special Educational Needs from students, parents/carers or prospective parents/carers can be addressed to the SENCo, or alternatively to the Assistant Headteacher with responsibility for SEND, Carol Maxwell.
For more information, please see our SEND Information Report which includes information that is considered most useful and explains how we support students with Special Educational Needs and disabilities. If you wish to give us your views about the report, please contact the school office on 01323 841468.
