ACTION
Our trust's network of nine schools includes mainstream, special and alternative provision.
Around 70 per cent of our students have special educational needs or disabilities (SEND). Many have education, health and care plans, setting out exactly what their learning needs are and how they should be addressed. But others, particularly those in our alternative provision (AP) schools who have been excluded, or are at risk of exclusion, from mainstream schools do not fit into this higher end of SEND. Many are dealing with undiagnosed issues, such as ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and dyslexia.
These pupils may not have been able to fully engage in the classroom, with challenging behaviour and disengagement being common manifestations of such underlying issues.
