How are students supported?
The City of London Academy Shoreditch Park values students’ well-being, their opinions and their achievement. All students are individuals and have a variety of complex needs. Students with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), those who are more able in a particular subject, and the majority of students who fit into neither of these categories all need support and challenge.
Hackney Libraries offer free resources to students supporting various areas of the curriculum, more information can be found here.
