Prospects School is a specialist school for pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties, which provides education for young people who are subject to care orders and who reside with Prospects for Young People Ltd, as well as offering day placements for young people from a number of local authorities. Prospects for Young People Ltd has 11 different registered care homes all in the Wrexham area, with one of the care homes sharing the site of the school. Prospects School is currently registered for 20 pupils. The school has a ‘continuum of provision’. Pupils are assessed on entry and placed in the following settings according to need. Pupils can move from one setting to another according to how well they adjust to being part of a school again, often after long periods of absence. 1 Nurture provision The curriculum is based around key skills, attachment theory and therapeutic approaches. 2 Home tuition Pupils remain in their care homes and teachers teach them individually. 3 Prospects School Prospects School runs a full timetable of education activities for a group of pupils. The Continuum is designed to provide a range of flexible options in order to avoid the need for exclusions. These placements are regularly reviewed. The timetable is designed around three main sections of the day. ‘Aspire’ focuses on personal and social development, improving social skills and citizenship. The core concentrates on achieving qualifications in English, mathematics, science and information and communication technology (ICT). ‘Engage with the community’ takes place during the afternoons and provides opportunities to access education activities within the community. These opportunities include a college course, music lessons, the gym, horse riding and charity work.
