Two of these are Higher Ability students – pathway 2 One of these is a Middle Ability student – pathway 3 Two of these are Lower Ability students – pathway 4

3. Our Current LAC Procedures Each Head of House (HoH) and the Assistant Head of House (AHoH) are the key individuals involved with the students in their respective houses. Miss Anderson is the Designated Teacher (DT) responsible for Looked After Children and Personal Education Plans. SMART targets are used to ensure that progress can be efficiently tracked. Pupil Premium Provision maps are used for each student to identify appropriate interventions to put in place Pupil Premium funding is used to create a bespoke package for each student. A “pen picture” for every LAC student will be produced and updated regularly to ensure it remains a ‘living document’. LAC’s are discussed as part of the Student Update on every Pastoral Team Meeting agenda. This is in order to ensure a cohesive approach is used in school as well as allowing for relevant information to be shared so that the best possible provision is given in school. All LAC’s can be identified by staff via ‘quicknote’. Social worker and contact details are also found here and any prohibited access arrangements. Information is updated regularly. Staff are informed of any significant events/ changes in circumstances. Targets – prior to PEP review, class teachers/ Curriculum leaders/ learning mentors submit any updates for students and are asked to contribute to target setting. Once targets have been set at PEP meeting, these are shared with class teachers and support staff. All LAC students are invited to attend a further meeting with HOH in addition to FT on IAG days.
