School Description

The Lady Jane Franklin School provides for pupils aged 10 to 16 with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties, but almost all pupils have additional disabilities and learning difficulties. All pupils have statements of special educational needs (currently being transferred into ‘education health care plans’). Their additional needs include autistic spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional demand avoidance, attachment disorder, pathological demand avoidance, obsessive compulsive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, dyslexia and dyspraxia. A few pupils have severe learning difficulties. Some pupils have very complex and severe challenging behaviours and mental health difficulties. A few Year 6 pupils are taught mainly in a small-class group by the same teacher. From September 2015 the school will only provide for pupils aged 11 to 16. Year 7 pupils are taught in a specialist nurture class to help them overcome any emotional barriers to learning. Pupils choose vocational subjects from Year 9 and continue with these subjects in Key Stage 4. The school is located in purpose-built facilities for pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. Some of the school’s vocational provision is situated in a garage on a nearby industrial estate, staffed by the school. The school does not make use of alternative provision. There are significantly more boys on roll than girls. An above average proportion of pupils are supported by the pupil premium (additional government funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, and for children who are looked after). It also provides for a few pupils from families in the armed forces. Most pupils are from White British backgrounds and very few are from families who speak English as an additional language. However, in recent years the number of pupils from other European countries has started to rise. The school provides outreach support and training to other primary, secondary and special schools to train teachers in supporting pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. The school is working towards conversion to academy status. On 1 September 2015 it will become part of the Community Inclusion Trust academy chain which currently has three schools.
