Us MacIntyre
Academies' mission is to become a leading Special Academy Trust that provides
outstanding outcome-focused state education by promoting high aspirations,
empowering parents as partners and successfully equipping every child for adult
life. We
currently have 4 Academies. Endeavour Academy in Oxford opened in 2014 and is a
residential academy for children and young people with autism and associated
severe Learning difficulties aged from 9 to 19 years old. In 2015 we opened Discovery Academy in
Nuneaton, for children with social, emotional and mental health needs and /or
autism. In 2017 we opened Quest Academy also catering for children with SEMH
and/or autism. Finally, in September 2020, Venture Academy based in
Henley-in-Arden joined the Trust catering for pupils in years 5-11 (ages 9-16)
who may have Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties and/or Diagnoses
of Autism or an associated condition. MacIntyre

part of our role is to teach learners safer and more effective ways of
communicating their needs, however a level of challenge still exists; this can
