Special Educational Needs and Disability

We believe in every child reaching his/her potential, through full access to a broad and balanced curriculum.  The Academy recognises that some pupils will need extra support to do this.  We offer a range of flexible provision to respond to children’s individual needs including in-class support, small group or individual teaching.

Parents/carers can find the Local Authority 'Local Offer' from the Dudley Council website.

Additional support for parents/carers is available from SENDIASS, which is an organisation external to the school.

Our SEN Co-ordinator is Mr. Wallworth, who can be contacted via 01384 685200 or kwallworth@stjamesacademy.org.uk. Mr. Wallworth is assisted by our Assistant SENCo, Mr. Sealey, who can be contacted at asealey@stjamesacademy.org.uk. 

Our SEND policy and report can be found here.
