School Opening Hours: 9am-3.30pm
Pupil Premium is government funding provided to support the education and development of children and young people who may face additional barriers to learning. Funding is allocated based on eligibility criteria including Pupils who have been eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) and those who are currently, or have previously been, looked after by a Local Authority.
As a DfE-registered Independent School, we are required to operate differently from maintained Local Authority schools. While Pupils attending our school may be eligible for Pupil Premium, the funding is not paid directly to the school. Instead, responsibility for holding and allocating Pupil Premium funding remains with the placing Local Authority, who decide how the funding should be used to best meet the individual needs of the Pupil.
Philosophy on feedback
As part of our approach to reflective practice Phoenix Learning and Care recognise and embrace the importance of developing a culture of continual learning and development. We welcome feedback on our achievements and the opportunity to share best practice, however we equally understand the importance of learning from our shortfalls. As such we welcome hearing about where we may have not lived up to our high standards and we truly value the opportunity to reflect and learn about areas that we need to develop further.
Within the last academic year we have received the following number of compliments and complaints.
If you would like to provide feedback to the school or wish to make us aware of a compliment or complaint then you can email the school direct.
Alternatively, you may contact our Operations Director (Education), Darren Jackson on: djackson@plcl.org.uk
We treat all concerns appropriately and all complaints are investigated thoroughly following our complaints policy and procedure which can be found within the Policies section of this website.
Our proprietors Phoenix Schools (South), welcome enquiries for placements in any of our services.
Please call us on 03330 150331 or email referrals@plcl.org.uk
We will provide an initial response to all enquiries as soon as possible, advising the options available and indicative dates of admission.
The referrals team can discuss the local offer and where appropriate, put you in contact with the respective Registered Manager or Headteacher to discuss the practical areas in greater detail.
The Young Person and/or Pupil are openly encouraged to visit along with parents, guardians or Social Workers to see if the placement is suitable.
Once the placement is confirmed, we work to ensure a smooth transition including the completion of required documentation.
We work closely with our Children/Young People, their Parents/Carers and Professionals to create bespoke programmes of learning for Pupils, which are tailored to their educational and social and emotional needs, supporting them to achieve their full potential. This means that we deliver a personalised curriculum, which, where possible, acknowledges the national curriculum and meets the individual needs of our Pupils, whilst also supporting them to meet the outcomes identified in their statement of Education Needs / Individual Development Plans / Educational Healthcare Plans.
To achieve this, every Pupil has an Individual Education Plan which identifies their areas of need and how we can best address them, both in terms of Team Member approach and the curriculum that they are provided. Our goal is to provide access to the best academic outcomes possible as well as preparing our Pupils for adulthood and the next stage of their education by equipping them with the skills required to achieve personal success.
