Westbury Academy Special School- Raleigh Learning Trust

Special School/Academy

Westbury Academy is an academy in the Raleigh Learning Trust providing education for pupils who experience social, emotional and mental health difficulties.

Pupils at Westbury are admitted to the school following completion of an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) which is replacing the Statementing Process, and with agreement that placement at the school is appropriate for their needs. Pupils currently with a statement of special educational needs will be transferred to an EHCP following the local authority’s transition timetable. Places at Westbury are at a premium within this and other authorities and there is often a waiting list for pupils requiring full-time education.
