Umberleigh Academy prides itself on being an inclusive school where every child's individual needs are understood and met.  The school is committed to providing appropriate support and a tailored curriculum, as required.  The school has very high pupil:adult ratios, which enables us to target our class teaching and intervention programmes successfully.

Devon County Council is committed to ensuring that all children and young people have a good start in life. Some children and young people have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and these differing needs mean varied levels of support may be required at different times.

In Devon, we believe that children and young people with SEND should have the expectation to be part of their local community and to be included and educated alongside their peers. We aim to provide a range of support and opportunities to enable this to happen and these can be described as the ‘local offer’. This sets out what you can expect to be available to support children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities aged 0-25 along with Devon’s approach and underlying principles.
