Nottingham City Local Offer

What is a Local Offer?

The Local Offer provides information about the provision that the local authority has available across education, health and social care for children and young people who have Special Educational Needs and/or disability (SEND). The provisions identified in the Local Offer will be in Nottingham City, and can also include services outside of Nottingham City which is likely to be used by children and young people with SEN.

What is the purpose of the Local Offer?

The Local Offer aims to provide clear, comprehensive, accessible and up-to-date information about the available provision and how to access it. The Local Offer will make provision more responsive to local needs and aspirations by directly involving children and young people with SEND, and their parents, carers and service providers, in reviewing the local offer and identifying what else is needed.

Admissions and Transition

arrangements

 

Brookvale Academy supports the Local Authority to fulfil its statutory responsibility by providing education to permanently excluded pupils from day six following a permanent exclusion at Key Stage two and three.

This approach is in accordance with Nottingham City’s exclusions procedure.  For further information, do not hesitate to get in touch with the academy.

We understand that entering a pupil referral setting is unfamiliar to you and your child.

Please be assured that we are always on hand to listen, and your child’s hopes and ambitions are central to our work and if we do not get it right the first time, we will always work with you to find an improved offer.

At our core, we are waiting and ready to support you in aiding your child to recover from a hugely destabilised period of their education. We do not judge and are not concerned about why your child was referred to us. All information is used to inform effective placement planning.
