Accessibility at Sir Martin Frobisher Academy
At Sir Martin Frobisher Academy, we are committed to creating an inclusive, supportive, and welcoming environment where every child can thrive. We believe that all pupils, regardless of their abilities or needs, should have equal access to high-quality education and school life.
Our Commitment to Inclusion
We strive to ensure that all pupils can participate fully in the curriculum and wider school activities. Our staff work closely with families, external professionals, and support services to provide tailored support that meets each child’s individual needs.
Physical Accessibility
Our school site is designed to be as accessible as possible. This includes:
- Step-free access to key areas of the school
- Accessible toilet facilities
- Clearly marked pathways and entrances
- Adaptations where needed to support mobility and independence
We continually review our facilities to identify and address any barriers to access.

- Differentiated teaching approaches within the classroom
- Targeted interventions and small group support
- Access to specialist resources and equipment
- Support from trained staff, including teaching assistants and SEND specialists
We follow a graduated approach to identifying and supporting special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Communication and Information

- Providing information in clear, straightforward language
- Offering alternative formats where possible
- Maintaining open and regular communication with families
If you require information in a different format, please contact the school office and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
Working in Partnership
We value strong partnerships with parents, carers, and external agencies. By working together, we ensure that each child receives the right support at the right time. We welcome feedback and are always looking for ways to improve our accessibility.
