Headteacher Kate Collins welcomes families to Safe Start School, describing a trauma-informed, nurturing environment with a bespoke curriculum, small class sizes, close collaboration with families and external agencies, and a focus on helping students gain qualifications and life skills.
We identify SEND interventions to maximise pupil progress; provide a broad and balanced curriculum differentiated to enable optimum learning; aim to narrow the gap for disadvantaged students by removing barriers; ensure an accessible learning environment; develop independence and life skills in preparation for working life; support post-16 transitions; Thrive framework is used to guide provision.
Admission involves arranging a visit, tour and meeting with staff; the prospective student is inducted with a bespoke timetable for the first three weeks and an initial assessment; a 6-week carers meeting is held to review progress; placements are coordinated with the local authority; families and carers are kept informed via school contact channels.
