What to expect when a child is offered a place at KPLC

When a referral has been accepted at KPLC

• An admissions meeting will be arranged between pupil, parents/carers, the home school and the Head of KPLC to discuss the following admission, find out some more information about the pupil as well as outline the KPLC expectations. This will usually take place within 10 days on being accepted
• A suitable start date will be agreed, and the timetable will be explained.
• After discussion with the home school, an Individual Behaviour Plan will be drawn up based on your child’s needs before they start at the centre.

Transition and time at KPLC

• On admissions, all children will undertake a baseline assessment to inform staff how best to plan for your child’s personalised learning programme. These will consider pupils’ learning abilities, social and emotional barriers to learning and resilience levels.
• Inclusive learning and teaching approaches will be used alongside scaffolding of work in order to remove any barriers to achievement.
• There will be good collaboration with parents/careers and agencies regarding pupils’ progress and well-being, with review meetings taking place every 6 weeks.
• Regular contact with parents regarding your child’s progress. 

 How Parents/Carers can help
