- Sirius Academy's learning experiences will be open to all children from the local and wider community, whatever their background or ability.
- Access to the entire curriculum is essential for all learners. The Academy will allow for disabled learners to have access to the whole school and will be provided with suitable workstations. The design of the Academy will allow full participation in everyday school life as an enjoyable experience and promote learners’ self esteem, social ability and learning achievement. This includes specialist provision and other facilities such as dining and social areas.
- Facilities will ensure full accessibility and more resourced provision for learners with SEN, including facilities that place SEN at the heart of the school - not the far end of a corridor. Accessibility is not just about wheelchairs, but will take account of the whole range of disabilities – visual and hearing impairment, autism etc.
- Learners with severe learning difficulties, disabilities, and more complex needs will usually attend a special school, which may be located on the same site. This could allow for a collaborative approach to teaching, as children may attend mainstream school on a part time basis or for social activities appropriately arranged for the individuals concerned.
