How to apply
Alternative Provision
A referral is provided to the retrospective school or local authority for completion. Once this is completed this is sent to Just Learn along with any supporting documentation. The method of receipt is either by electronic copy or by hard copy for the attention of the head of school.
The referral form and supporting documentation is reviewed by the head of school and a representative from the board of trustees (if required). The head of school will identify if the school can meet the needs/requirements of the individual based on the following factors:
- SEN
- Location
- Secure Unit
- Specialist Provision
Based on the above, the head of school can either accept or reject the referral received. The school may reject an applicant if the head of school and trustee/s feel that the school is unable to meet the needs of the individual or unable to support the learners’ requirements.
If the referral is accepted, then the applicant is interviewed by the head of school and the board of trustees (if required). If this interview is successful, then an enrolment form is completed. The school will agree with relevant stakeholders of a start date.
