Welcome 

Welcome to The Academy of Central Bedfordshire website and thank you for visiting us.

 

As a Headteacher I am privileged to lead such a wonderful organisation dedicated to transforming the lives of the young people in our care. I hope our website provides you with valuable insight into our school and the opportunities we offer to our students. Our determination, shared with each member of the staff team at The Academy, is to make the greatest positive difference to our students, not just academically but in every way that will help them be successful in all aspects of their futures.

Horizon Education provides a virtual tutoring service to young people via our Google Classroom system with live lessons taught by a teacher. Additionally, students who are enrolled in this provision will receive an in-person weekly face-to-face well-being session. The provision is targeted to support those students who are unable to attend their main registered school regularly. For some of these students the virtual provision will provide sole subject teaching, for other students their education package will include the provision of alternative provision managed and quality assured by the Academy.

SEND Roadshows

Good Afternoon
 
SNAP Parent Carer Forum have arranged a series of SEND Roadshows for this academic year. The first event is next month in Dunstable. Our Roadshows bring together services which support children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and their families, all in one place. We have various stall holders which include representatives from health, local authority, social care and voluntary sector services. They are family friendly events held in an accessible venue throughout the county. 
 These are in person events for parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. Their child does not need a diagnosis for families to come and get help at a roadshow. 
They may: 
  • be new to SEND and unsure what help is available 
  • feel their child needs help or have questions about the support they already receive 
  • want to find out what support there is for the family 
  • not be sure what support they might need
Our First event is in Dunstable at the Priory Church Hall (LU5 4RU), 7th November 10am-12pm. Please note local parking is pay and display. 
This is free event and there is no need to book in advance. Free copies of our book Supporting Your Neurodiverse Child/Young Person will be available while stocks last.

Dear all,
Wow – summer is definitely here! Signified not only by the hot weather we are having but by the
Olympic Games being well underway too. I have watched some fantastic events over the past week
or so and never cease to be amazed at what people can do when they are given opportunity and
support to achieve.
