EBD & Alternative
KS4 Provision
Expansion of Special School Places
The Behaviour and Achievement Strategy proposes an expansion of special
school provision for children with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulty
Statements in relation to increased demand in the area.
Eight additional places have been funded in the primary sector and 20
additional places have been funded in the secondary sector. The expansion
aims to enable the provision of more appropriate learning environments
for young people with EBD statements across the county.
This increase in specialist provision is intended to complement the preventative
initiatives also supported by the Behaviour and Achievement Strategy.
Alternative KS4 Curriculum Provision in Hertfordshire
The Children Schools and Families service are supporting the development
of a range of alternative and appropriate Key Stage 4 provision for
young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties in Hertfordshire.
The Behaviour and Achievement Strategy is working to help ensure that
there is a co-ordinated and effective range of provision in place and
that it is accessible for those young people who need it.
The Children, Schools and Family service is currently using alternative
curriculum provision engaging young people through the use of accredited
learning opportunities in a variety of fields including the use of vocational
education and e-learning opportunities. We are working in partnership
with special schools, colleges and independent training providers in order
to best achieve a diverse and meaningful curriculum provision for 14 – 16
year olds in Hertfordshire.
