Referral and availability notes

 

We work closely with the referring Local Authority to ensure that the young person is offered a provision that can meet their needs. To ensure a successful school placement the school operates an admission process whereby referral paperwork is scrutinised.  Pupils are then invited into school with parents/carers and relevant professionals for an informal meeting.  This is followed up by a home visit.  The final decision is arrived at by the school but always takes into account the pupils views and wishes.

Notes

All students at Bramfield House School have access to a broad and balanced curriculum. The majority of students take GCSEs at the end of Year 11. Our curriculum is modified in terms of breadth of subjects offered.

Class sizes are 8 pupils in KS3 & 4 and 6 – 8 in KS2.

All classes are supported by a Teaching Assistant. As part of our practice we differentiate activities and tasks in lessons, ensuring that students are working on developing skills and knowledge to make good progress. In some lessons there may be elements of small group teaching or 1:1 withdrawal. We run interventions to enable students to make progress with their literacy and numeracy skills.

We emphasise life skills throughout our curriculum. Our horticulture department is a strength and students can gain qualifications through the Royal Horticulture Society. We offer opportunities for work experience as blocks in Year 11, and on-going opportunities for some students in our local community.

In our residential provision students have access to a broad 24 hour curriculum offering numerous opportunities to develop and promote positive social interaction incorporating communication, independence and self-management skills and the development of self-esteem.
