We pride ourselves on the inclusive culture in our school. LAC/PLAC are well cared for, have their needs met, barriers overcome and experience success emotionally, academically and socially.
Our designated teacher is fully trained, all staff experience a wide range of training to allow them to actively support LAC/PLAC members of the school community and we have a fully trained (level 5 diploma) trauma informed practitioner on site. Close working with the virtual school to ensure provision/spending is appropriate.
All planning is bespoke to the needs of the individual. Learners are invited to join clubs and have places prioritised. Learners have costs of clubs covered by attached funding. Barriers such as travel will be removed. Leaders and teachers ensure regular, consistent monitoring of progress, well being and happiness of the child, analyzing and adjusting based upon evidence.
Impact Learners that are in care or post looked after will achieve well, at least in line with their peers, as a consequence of the removal of barriers to learning. Plans support learners inside and outside of school.
