At The St Lawrence Academy the pathway students take after they leave school is just as important as the education outcome they gained with us.
We support our SEND students from the end of Year 10 working closely with them and their ATL to think about what they would like to pursue after school. We offer extra transition days at our local colleges and if students need we help to support applications.
