Aims and philosophy
‘Learning to be the best that we can be, by creating a positive, vibrant learning community where everyone is valued, challenged and inspired to achieve their unique potential’.
This statement truly permeates every aspect of school life here at The Fitzroy Academy and influences all we do. All staff have aspirational expectations for all students and we are committed to educational stability. The Fitzroy Academy, part of the New Reflexions family, creates a nurturing atmosphere where all children are known to everyone and know everyone. Every student is treated as an individual and the New Reflexions philosophy, “If it isn’t good enough for your own child, it isn’t good enough”, is palpable in everyday school life.
At The Fitzroy Academy we work tirelessly to remove the perceived barriers to learning with which students with special educational needs and differences are frequently associated. Our small, highly supportive environment enables school staff to know each student well and teachers and teaching assistants to work collaboratively with parents/carers, the young person and other professionals to create a person-centred, functional, engaging and appropriate educational and personal development programme within our inclusive environment.
Staff qualification and selection
All staff go through a rigorous safer recruitment process prior to starting work at the Fitzroy Academy. Teaching staff have a wealth of SEN experience, and all teachers have QTS.
