Secondary Satellite at the Rodillian Academy
Welcome to Broomfield Secondary Satellite at Rodillian Academy.
The Rodillian Academy Satellite provision is for secondary aged students in years 7 to 11 who hold an EHCP, have a range of additional learning needs but are ready to be based within a mainstream site. Students must be able to have functional communication and present with limited behavioural challenges, however are working one to two key stages below National Curriculum expectations.
There are currently two classes with up to 16 students in each class. Classes are organised into KS3 and KS4 however, in Maths and English, classes are organised according to ability. We have one teacher and 3 LSA’s in each class and staff are appropriately trained to meet the needs of our learners. There is a high ratio of adults to pupils so that our students have the support they require to access their learning.
Students follow an adapted national curriculum to expand their knowledge, understanding and experiences. Learning is delivered in small groups; with high levels of adult support; and embedded opportunities to develop independence with access to community and enrichment activities.
Access to a range of specialist support services are available to all children on the Rodillian site delivered by the NHS. This includes SaLT (Speech and language Therapy); Physiotherapy; Occupational Therapy. Broomfield staff are trained to administer and support minor medical needs; sensory regulatory activities and careers guidance.
Throughout the provision students are supported to prepare for adulthood and where appropriate may access a range of nationally recognised accreditation including: Pearson and AQA Entry Level Awards, ASDAN short courses, Duke of Edinburgh and for some individuals GCSEs. All students across Key Stages 3 and 4 are also offered enrichment opportunities including: Horticulture; Art and Crafts; Music and PE. For a small number of learners who are ready for and require additional learning opportunities in line with a mainstream offer occasional lessons delivered by Rodillian Academy may be facilitated.
