Things to note
At LVS Oxford, they offer a wide range of activities to keep pupils active and healthy. Some of the main activities they offer are listed below:
Stage 1 – Initial referral either by parent(s)/carer(s), local authority or advocate acting on the parent(s)’ behalf:
They request as much information as possible including educational, medical and any safeguarding reports to assist with the decision on whether to proceed with the referral.
They work with parents/carers and external agencies to ensure that decisions on whether to offer an assessment visit are based on complete, accurate, reliable and up to date information.
Stage 2 – School based assessment visit:
When a decision has been made that the reports indicate that the young person meets the admission criteria and there are places available in the relevant key stage, an assessment visit to the school will be arranged.
The assessment period will include participation in timetabled activities.
The school may request an additional assessment visit.
Stage 3 – Transition into school:
Following successful assessment visits a placement will be offered.
Any placement offered will be subject to the full cost of the placement unless there has been prior agreement between the placing authority and the school.
Following acceptance of the place and confirmation of funding, a transition plan will be agreed.
Sometimes, a graduated transition and reduced timetable is required in order to re-engage the young person in learning.
Each young person is supported by relevant staff as determined in the transition plan.
A Post Entry Review is booked with parents and other stakeholders which will be approx a 6 week time frame, this is where a decision is made about whether the placement will continue and any additional resources are needed.
