Peterborough City Council and a number of primary, secondary and special schools are working together to create a network of specialist hubs in schools across the city. These Hubs are developing to become ‘centres of expertise’ to help improve the support for all children with special educational needs and disabilities in all schools in the Peterborough area. The primary focus of a Hub is to equip themselves and other schools to support students with specific SEND. Some of these Hubs have a limited number of places for students. Find out more about the network of Hubs What is the Specific Learning Difficulty Hub? The hub base for Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) is at Thomas Deacon Academy. To be considered for a place in the hub, students must have an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan which states dyslexia or SpLD as the primary need and where it is deemed that needs cannot be met solely through mainstream provision, thus requiring specialist input. A student within the hub has the potential to manage the elements of an academic and social environment of a mainstream school with specialist skilled support and consistent implementation of an individually tailored programme. Admissions for a hub place are via the SEND Panel at Peterborough Local Authority. Please contact Peterborough Local Authority for more information. We are fortunate to have a number of teaching spaces and classrooms allowing bespoke 1:1 or small group work to take place. What type of support will a student within the hub receive?
