Decision details

The Executive will be asked to consider proposals to tender for the provision of an alternative education service for year 11 children

Received a report from the Corporate Director of Children’s Services concerning proposals to tender and award the contract for an Alternative Education Provision for Year 11 Children from September 2010 for a period of up to five years.

It is proposed that the new service will be tailored around the pupil’s needs, both educationally, vocationally and wider – including any special educational needs which may not have been adequately identified and met.  The Service will also offer the opportunity for some of the cohort to take GCSE’s or gain formal vocational qualifications.

Arising from the discussion, deferred a decision pending further consultation with members and a more detailed report providing evidence of the quality of provision currently provided.
