  • Which School for My Child?
    Which school for my child? Introduction At different times in every child’s school life you, as parents, are asked to decide which school you would like your son or daughter to go to. For example: • when your child is first assessed for an Education Health & Care Plan (EHCP), • when their current EHCP is being amended, for example because they have reached the age where they need to change schools You need to be closely involved in helping to decide what educational provision your child will need. This information booklet is intended to help you in expressing your preference for a particular school for your child. It is for parents of children who already have a Plan and are about to change school because of their age. This is known as a phase transfer. However, most of the information will be useful in considering schools at other times. Where can my child go to school if he or she has special educational needs? Most children with EHCPs will be able to go to their local mainstream school. They will be taught with children of their own age with extra help from their class teacher. They may also be helped by a Teaching Assistant or a specialist teacher. Other special help that they need can also be provided. Some children may need a more specialised education and there is a range of alternative provision, which may be suitable, including special schools. So, you need to think about what type of school may best meet your child’s needs: • Mainstream school - with extra help or provision • Enhanced Resource School (ERS) – this is a mainstream school with additional resources for particular children with special educational needs.

  • Public Agenda Item No. 8(J) Derbyshire County Council
    Public Agenda Item No. 8(j) Derbyshire County Council CABINET 26 July 2016 Report of Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Communities SUSTAINABLE MODES OF TRAVEL STRATEGY (HIGHWAYS, TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE) (1) Purpose of Report To seek approval for the Council’s Sustainable Modes of Travel Strategy and to publish this strategy on the Council’s website. (2) Information and Analysis The Council has a statutory duty to produce a Sustainable Modes of Travel Strategy. On 8 September 2015, the Cabinet Member – Highways, Transport and Infrastructure approved the publication of a Statement of Intent outlining the Council’s commitment to develop and produce this Strategy by 31 August 2015 (Minute No. 120/15 refers). A copy of this Statement is attached under Appendix 1 to this report. The requirement to produce a Strategy was set out in the Department for Education’s recently re-issued home to school travel and transport guidance. The guidance requires local authorities to: • Promote the use of sustainable travel and transport, and • Make transport arrangements for all eligible children There are five key elements to the duty and these cover schools, academies and free schools for compulsory school aged children (5-16). These require the local authority to: 1. Undertake an assessment of the travel and transport needs of children, and young people within the Authority’s area. 2. Audit the sustainable travel and transport infrastructure within the Authority’s area that may be used when travelling to and from, or between schools/institutions. 3. Develop a strategy to deliver sustainable travel and transport infrastructure within the Local Authority Area, so that the travel and transport needs of children and young people are best catered for.
