ID Academy is an independent special school. The provision is specifically for 10 pupils aged 11-16. The school admits pupils with special educational needs and they cater for pupils with Social, Emotional or Mental Health Needs (SEMH). They can offer an inclusive approach towards education and care which centres on delivering the curriculum creatively. The provision of education at school relies on recognising and making the most of opportunities as and when they arise. This enables each individual young person to learn in the way that best fits their interests and abilities. The school accepts referrals through the NE12 Commissioning Framework and they welcome private referrals from parents/carers. They also welcome pupils who are looked after, referred by their carers or by a local authority. The school will consider both short and long term placements for pupils. Placements are funded by the pupil’s Local Authority.
