Constituent parts of the This Is Me plan - such as key persons in the individual's
Circle of Support, individual care and learning plans, Positive Behaviour Support
plans, protocols and risk assessments - are reviewed regularly by specialist,
experienced staff across our multi-disciplinary teams. This is to ensure a young
person's learning targets are appropriate and their achievements celebrated.
"Our son has come on in leaps and bounds at the wonderful setting Prior's
Court, the care and support of the staff are second to none." - Parent of a young
person at Prior's Court
Communication between home and school:
As a residential school, regular communication with parents is regarded as vital.
Education and Residential staff communicate frequently to update parents and
families on their child's progress and well-being such as through a telephone call
at a pre-arranged time once or twice per week (or more frequently, for example
when a child has recently joined Prior's Court School).
All parents are invited to the Statutory Annual Review and LAC Review (where
applicable) of their child's special educational needs. Where appropriate this will
be complemented by social services care reviews. However, parents are also
welcome to talk or meet with key staff to discuss progress or concerns at a
mutually convenient time.
An online Parent Information Area is available for parents and carers to receive
communications and be sent information and resources.
