Special Educational
Needs & Disabilities (SEND)
At Eton Academy, we celebrate the uniqueness of every pupil and recognise their exceptional talents.
We understand that some students may experience challenges in traditional school environments due to anxiety, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, sensory sensitivities, trauma-related experiences, or emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA). Some students may also be receiving support from CAMHS or other professionals.
Our goal is to provide a supportive and structured learning environment that meets each child’s individual needs, helping them rebuild confidence in learning and progress successfully towards further education and future opportunities.
