Specialist Support

All students who attend Alt Bridge School have Education Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) which outline the requirements for the provision in school in order to meet their needs. The specialist support available within Alt Bridge can be accessed at different levels of intensity, for varying timeframes and in order to meet changing or ongoing needs. The diagram below outlines the kind of specialist support we offer our students at universal or specialist levels. We view this support as being wrapped around a student and available to them when required so that the level of support may vary within a given time frame in response to their changing needs overtime. The annual review process provides a forum to discuss these changing needs and the priorities for additional support so that there may be a clear plan in place. Within school, we also hold termly pupil progress reviews to evaluate progress in light of the support available and to consider any other approaches that may be beneficial.   

The diagram below outlines the various specialist approaches that students may access at universal or specialist support levels. Some specialist support is able to be delivered by our highly trained staff, whilst other forms of support, we look to provide through one of our commissioned services or our local education, health and care organisations. Our partnerships with those external organisations and commissioned services is extremely important to us and we work closely with those services to develop the best packages of support for our students. You can find more out about our commissions services as our webpage ‘therapies at Alt Bridge’. More information can also be found out about local services at the Knowsley Local Offer website.
