How SENse support our families
A student’s journey is dependent on the people around them. Our enhanced pastoral provision provides the often much needed additional help, to support whole families.
We provide interventions that improve outcomes for children and young people and prevent needs and risks from escalating. We also offer specific information and training linked to identified areas of need.
Early Help
We know how important it is for our young people to have the right support from their families. Early Help is a unique offer that helps signpost and support parents and carers in lots of different ways.
Each term, we create a timetable of webinars and resources to be delivered to parents and carers of SENse students. These webinars cover a range of topics and training, such as PDA training, mental health discussions with professionals and sometimes just a much needed chance to talk to, and get support from, other parents or carers experiencing similar difficulties.
We work with specialist professionals, local parent carer forums and many other national organisations which we can signpost and link families to.

When things get better
M’s story is one of hope. This case study shows how our pastoral department supported not only M, but their entire family. It’s a real-life example of how getting the right help in place early on can have an incredibly positive impact for both a young person and their family.
Setting the right path
We offer four different pathways which are carefully considered to help guide our students in the right direction, at the right time. On referral, we carefully consider the pathway most suited to a young person’s needs and continuously re-evaluate to check that they are still following the right path.
Dedicated pastoral care
We offer something most alternative provision and tuition organisations don’t. A dedicated pastoral department who put safeguarding – as well as student, family and staff wellbeing – at the centre of everything we do. With this essential part of the puzzle taken care of we can do what we do best, and create personal learning journeys that make SENse.
