Refer a Pupil.
A clear starting point for schools considering a placement with Active Minds KS2 Provision.
Referrals are considered individually so that we can understand the pupil’s needs, current provision, strengths and potential barriers to engagement before deciding whether Active Minds KS2 Provision could provide safe, appropriate and purposeful support.
Move. Focus. Grow.
A referral should begin with a clear understanding of the pupil’s current needs, provision and intended outcomes. Active Minds KS2 Provision works alongside the commissioning school rather than replacing the pupil’s mainstream education.
Before you refer
Placements are arranged with the pupil’s school, which remains responsible for the pupil’s overall education and maintains them on roll.
SCHOOL-COMMISSIONED
INDIVIDUALLY CONSIDERED
Every referral is considered individually. We look at the pupil’s strengths, needs, current support, risks and barriers to engagement before agreeing suitability.
A placement should have clear aims and add meaningful value, with agreed priorities that can be reviewed throughout the pupil’s time with Active Minds KS2 Provision.
PURPOSEFUL PLACEMENT
To consider a referral properly, we need enough information to understand the pupil, their current education and the support already in place. This helps us make an informed decision about whether Active Minds KS2 Provision could be suitable.
Information we need
Basic information about the pupil, their current school, year group and the key school contact responsible for the referral.

NEEDS & CURRENT SUPPORT
Relevant SEND, SEMH, EHCP or support-plan information, identified needs, strengths, successful strategies and current interventions.
EDUCATION & ENGAGEMENT
Current attainment, attendance, engagement with learning, curriculum priorities and any significant barriers affecting access to education.
Relevant safeguarding information, known risks, behaviour concerns, medical needs and anything else required to plan a safe and appropriate placement.

What happens after you refer

We consider the pupil’s needs, current provision, strengths, risks, intended outcomes and whether further information is required.
REVIEW THE REFERRAL
We speak with the commissioning school to clarify the referral, consider whether the provision can meet the pupil’s needs safely and appropriately, and discuss any necessary next steps.
DISCUSS SUITABILITY
Where a placement appears suitable, we agree the proposed attendance pattern, priorities, communication arrangements and any further information required before the pupil starts.
