Overview
The taskforce will comprise of specialists in the following areas: speech and language, family support, mental health/therapy, and youth work.
Through a test and learn approach, practice will develop. Specialists on the team will be required to be proactive and creative to achieve outcomes for children.
Context
The APST will be implemented across the GHES and The Altus School, focusing on key stage 2 and 3 children (7 -14-year-olds).
Approach
The model is based on a tiered approach:
* Universal offer for all children within scope. This will include delivering tutorial sessions, screening to support early identification of unmet need and a training offer for staff
* Group offer including running interventions for children with similar needs, holiday activities and parent support
* Individual offer where specialists from the taskforce will work directly with individual children and families to meet more complex needs identified through a holistic assessment.
Specialist work across GHES and Altus sites as well as from local community bases and family homes (if appropriate).
The children in scope will be accessing alternative education provision under Section 19 of the Education Act 1996, though GHES or Altus because attendance at another school is not possible due to exclusion, illness or other reason.
