YOUNG PEOPLE’S EDUCATION
We have a purpose built school which is separate from the residential facilities. The school comprises of a dedicated school building on one level. There are six classrooms and a separate class for group learning, an ICT suite, sensory room, individual work spaces, library and kitchen. The setting has full access to the campus facilities. Each classroom has one fully qualified teacher and at least one Teaching Assistant. A maximum number of 5 pupils are placed within one class. Other considerations in forming class groups will include ability, communication skills and behavioural profiles. This allows for the correct facilities to be available to the different groups and the dynamics of the classroom interactions to be effective. The classes have further staffing from care residential support workers.
The objectives from the plan are used to produce the Individual Learning Plan which consists of annual objectives and six monthly targets. The plan is reviewed annually in consultation with parents, representatives from the authority and all teams at Rowden. Targets are reviewed six monthly in line with the LAC/Placement review. All young people are encouraged to attend their review but in all cases pupils are asked to provide their views in an appropriate format. From Year 9 a transition review is planned and implemented in line with the Code of Practice. Young people’s views are sought prior to review meetings and they are encouraged to attend such meetings. Attendance at reviews will typically be for a part of the review and will focus on the young person through praise and encouragement. For those of a higher ability inclusion will be greater up to and including full attendance.
All young people have an Education Health and Care Plan.
