School Description

Glyne Gap School is a special academy for pupils with severe or profound learning difficulties. The school converted to become a stand-alone academy in April 2013. When its predecessor school, which had the same name, was last inspected by Ofsted, it was judged to be outstanding overall. The academy has three sites. The main site caters for pupils from Year R to Year 11. Children in Reception attend full time. Children of pre-school age attend the Early Years Nursery, run by Bexhill College, part time. The provision is shared with some children who go on to attend the neighbouring Pebsham Academy. Sixth form students are based in a faculty at Bexhill College. All pupils from Reception through to the sixth form are supported by a statement of special educational needs or education, health and care plan. The majority of pupils are of White British heritage and a much smaller proportion speak English as an additional language. There are approximately twice as many boys as girls. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for support through the pupil premium (additional government funding for pupils who qualify for free school meals or are in the care of the local authority) is above average and represents nearly half of the total cohort. The headteacher took up her post in September 2013 after previously being assistant headteacher with responsibility for the sixth form.
