How we work

At Releasing Potential School new referrals are placed with us for a six week part-time assessment period, after which their placement will be confirmed or the assessment period may be extended. Once a student has been formally offered a place at Releasing Potential School, they will access a bespoke programme that suits their individual needs. Students’ programmes are made up of a combination of the following elements.



Small Group Provision

Our Engage provision is based on site in small groups with a student to staff ratio of 2:1. Engage offers academic subjects and classroom based learning with a consistent Tutor and timetable.

w

1: 1 Mentoring

Students access mentoring with a key member of staff on a 1:1 basis. This can be on or off site, as part of our Activation provision (where several 1:1s come together) or as a regular 1:1 day or days.



Work Placement

Students in years 9-13 can access work placement opportunities in real businesses. Students are supported by school staff who help to manage behaviour and embed the curriculum.



Distance Learning

Students who struggle to engage with either a group or 1:1 environment are supported by specialist tutors. Students complete a range of subjects via online modules.
