The Headlands Cove Enhanced Resource Provision

Headlands School currently works in partnership with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council to provide an Enhanced Resource Provision (ERP) for young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. Working with the Local Authority, The Cove aims to remove barriers to achievement and narrow the gap so that everyone can reach their potential. The Cove aims to provide a socially inclusive education provision that attempts to engage those children and young people whose needs cannot be met through mainstream provision, aiming to:

· Provide a specialist enhanced resource that offers a broad and balanced curriculum for children and young people who have an EHC Plan.

· Provide a caring, stimulating and consistent environment in which pupils can learn.

ERP students benefit from personalised curriculum planning and delivery that is carefully designed to enhance pupils’ social, emotional and behavioural skills; encouraging pupils to aim for high standards in their own learning and achievement. The Cove enables flexibility between mainstream and enhanced resources; pupils attend mainstream lessons/activities as appropriate.

Access & Eligibility

The Headlands School Cove works collaboratively with the ERYC SEN Team to identify whether the provision is able to meet the needs of an identified young person with an EHC Plan. Initial applications for placement at The Cove will be made via the ERYC SEN Panel through the EHC Assessment process or the Annual Review process. The Cove will only be able to give consideration to a consultation once all up to date information is available so fully informed decision making can take place. If space is available, a discussion will take place to ensure that The Cove can meet the child’s special educational needs and that the allocation of a place would also be compatible with the efficient education of the other children with whom the child is to be educated. Parents/Carers are not able to make a direct application to The Cove.
