<p>29 May 2018</p><p>Dear Head Teacher</p><p>You will be aware Cheltenham & Tewkesbury Alternative Provision School (CTAPS), previously C&T PRS, has been commissioned by the Local Authority to provide full time places for permanently excluded pupils and those with no school place. Funding for preventative and early intervention behaviour support has now been delegated to schools. During this academic year we have not offered outreach work, although a few schools have requested and received support on a very ad-hoc/informal basis. Unfortunately this arrangement is not financially viable and thus I would like to offer the credit model, that was originally proposed in April 2013. This model is used by schools in both the Stroud and Gloucester areas.</p><p>This model may suit some schools; others might prefer a pay as you go model, which is also available at a slightly higher rate of £50 per credit. </p><p>Details of the credit model are given below; if this does not fit your requirements and you would like to discuss more specific needs, please contact me on the number below.</p><p>Yours sincerely</p><p>Ian Mudge Acting Head Teacher</p><p>Credit Model:</p><p>Number on roll Delegated funds Bronze Silver Gold Example only LA source £5.00 per head £10.00 per head £15.00 per head 34 £718 £170 £340 £510 5 Credits 11 Credits 17 Credits 94 £2191 £470 £940 £1410 16 Credits 31 Credits 47 Credits 195 £5875 £975 £1950 £2925 33 Credits 65 Credits 98 Credits 358 £8504 £1790 £3580 £5370 60 Credits 119 Credits 179 Credits</p><p>What is a credit worth?</p><p>Service Description Credits Initial contact and advice  Completed referral form – with supporting 4 about a named pupil documentation *support can only be accessed via the  referral process Initial response visit to determine and agree support and strategy</p><p> Supported session for a Individualised support in the classroom with a 3 named pupil (am or pm) behaviour practitioner  Minimum of 5 sessions for each intervention (i.e. minimum buy in of 15 credits)</p><p> Supported session for a Support for a specific need, shared by up to 3 5 small group of pupils pupils – in the classroom or specified area in the school  Minimum of 5 sessions for each intervention (i.e. minimum buy in of 25 credits)</p><p> Support for assessing BESD To assess behavioural needs, in the classroom 4 and unstructured time  A lead teacher will produce a report for use in supporting statutory assessment / assessment plan PRS Centre Options  Full day in Centre Targeted support in the PRS centre for a named 4 pupil  Pupil likely to be in a group in the centre (Minimum of 5 consecutive days intervention)</p><p>Training options Credits Full day (up to 6 hours) 15 Half Day (up to 3 hours) 8 Twilight (up to 2 hours) 5 MDSA / Support Training TA Training NQT support</p>
