Vocational Placements
We offer vocational placements at local colleges and training providers and offer support as required. Some students also undertake work experience placements within the local community. All placements are dependent upon risk assessment outcomes and are pre-planned.
Achievement and Progress
Our focus is to support all students to make gains in their learning. Progress and achievements are recorded for each student and reports are regularly sent to parents/carers and local authorities. The school acknowledges achievements at all levels, whether in lessons, particular activities or the actions of students, and we celebrate these achievements on a regular basis.
We provide written reports on a termly basis to carers and parents providing information on progress and attainment and opportunities for parents or carers to attend open days to discuss pupil progress.
The schools general academic performance, including exam results, inspection reports will be published and made available to the extended school community. Regular reviews are conducted with social workers, virtual schools and other local authority agencies when required.
