Outreach And Partnership

Our Outreach and Partnership Programme is evolving to the Restart Pathway in September 2024...

We are excited to announce the development of our innovative Restart programme, set to launch in September 2024. The Restart programme will serve as a short-stay placement for all new pupils joining our school, designed to provide a comprehensive and thorough introduction to our educational environment. During their time in the Restart programme, pupils will undergo essential baseline testing in reading and other key academic areas. This will allow us to accurately assess their current level of knowledge and skills. In addition to academic assessments, we will also conduct detailed personal development and wellbeing profiling. This holistic approach ensures we understand each child's unique needs, strengths, and areas for growth.

The Restart pathway is designed to collate all relevant information about a child before we determine the most suitable educational pathway for them. By doing so, we can tailor our approach to meet each child's specific needs, foster their interests, and develop their skills. This personalised method supports their ambitions and sets a solid foundation for their future success. Furthermore, the Restart pathway will be instrumental in integrating new pupils into our school's Provision Map and the Assess, Plan, Do, Review process. This systematic approach ensures continuous monitoring and adaptation of our teaching strategies to provide the best possible support for every pupil.

The programme will be supported by our SENCO, teachers, support staff, and Youth Workers, ensuring a multidisciplinary approach to addressing all challenges that pupils may face upon entering our school and their transition. Whether pupils have gaps in learning, have experienced past trauma, have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), or face complex attendance issues, our dedicated team will be equipped to provide the necessary support.

Through the Restart programme, we are committed to ensuring that every new pupil receives the attention and resources they need to thrive in our school community.
