Some young people are able to attend their Looked After Child or Annual Review
for a short time. The aim is to enable them to present their choices to the key
people making decisions on their behalf and give them greater involvement in
the planning and implementation of their care at Prior's Court School.
There is also an independent visitor who visits every month. Due to the level of
understanding our young people have, it can be very difficult for the advocate to
directly question the young people about how happy they are with their care and
education. Prior's Court's Independent Visitor observes different aspects of the
students' lives to ensure their choices are supported within the school. An
Independent Advocate also visit every month to ensure their choices are
supported within Prior's Court School.
Strategies are implemented to meet the needs of young people with English as
an additional language.
"Staff patiently support children using communication aids successfully. Children can communicate
their wishes and feelings to staff.
"Staff do not use consequence systems to manage children's behaviours. Staff use positive reward
systems and focus on the children having happy and enjoyable experiences.". - Ofsted Care
