St Giles' Spencer Academy

St Giles' Spencer Academy is a mixed academy special converter located in Derby, catering to pupils aged 4 to 11 with a diverse range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The school operates across two sites: the main site focuses on Early Years and Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils with severe learning difficulties and complex needs, while The Hive supports those with moderate learning needs, including high-functioning ASD and social-emotional challenges.

The academy prides itself on its outstanding teaching and strong communication with parents, facilitated by a dedicated family liaison support team. Staff members are well-trained to understand and meet the individual needs of each pupil, fostering an inclusive environment that promotes significant progress across the curriculum.

St Giles joined the Spencer Academies Trust in November 2019, enhancing its collaborative approach with other schools. The academy's ethos revolves around aspiration, partnership, and responsibility, aiming to provide a supportive community where every child can thrive and develop essential life skills.
