The Education Support Centres cater for secondary pupils who have been
permanently excluded from school and for whom an immediate return to another
school is inappropriate.
The Education Support Centres are intended to provide full-time short-term
provision for a number of weeks after which pupils are, in the majority
of cases, re-integrated back into school. Whilst at the Education Support
Centre pupils receive full-time education and support, where appropriate,
for their individual behaviour problems.
Outreach work from the Education Support Centres into schools is targeted
at pupils who may have had 3 fixed term exclusions but who are identified
by the school as being at risk of permanent exclusion. Outreach work caters
for children of all ages at school (primary and secondary).
