LEAP (Learning Environment in an Alternative Provision) / STAG (Secondary Turn Around Group)
The STAG/LEAP is located on the first floor which in itself is a quieter area of the school, suitably distanced from the hustle of the main school, providing an ideal environment to support students.
We have a suite of rooms that are defined into purposeful areas for use, when supporting students within their time at school.
We aim to focus on three key areas:
- Co-regulation, to equip students with the tools for self-regulation
- Specific interventions to support personal development
- Adapted curriculum
Our 12-week intervention programme is unique in many ways, and we are proud of the successes we build upon each year. Our primary focus is through nurture and support, while guiding students to ensure they have the best opportunity to cope and be successful in mainstream education. The ‘Bespoke’ STAG curriculum we offer to students prepares them for important transitions in their education and prepare them for their next steps towards adulthood.
The culture of Victory Park Academy is very much focused on improving the life chances of every one of our students. The STAG programme provides a platform where we epitomise this culture. We intend to be a beacon of good practice, whilst setting high standards for others to follow when working with challenging behaviour and the constant changes we face when working with young people who need our support in this way.
We are passionate about achieving our goals and succeeding with our students and continuously work hard to create an environment where all our students have a genuine opportunity to thrive and be successful. We build strong, healthy relationships that promote positive values, trust, respect, while we endeavour to raise their aspirations and self-worth. The nurture-based support and learning we provide offer the students a chance to break negative cycles and build resilience. These tools are essential for all our students to not only be successful in education, but also in life.
LEAP is a positive and stabilising setting that supports students with varying SEN and bridges the gap between either another mainstream school or a specialist setting. Pupils are with us for varying amounts of time depending on the support they require. Our curriculum is bespoke, flexible, and personalised to enable pupils to progress onto the next stage of their education. We aim to provide a curriculum that enables each child to shine: to nurture their individual talents and raise aspirations.
The curriculum is designed to:
- Re-engage all pupils as learners
- Enhance the self–perception of pupils as learners
- Inspire and motivate pupils, fostering a curiosity to learn
- Enable all pupils to make progress from their individual starting points and to have success in learning underpinned by a focus on developing pupils’ social development, emotional well-being and mental health
- Focus on developing pupil’s social, emotional and mental health
- Have a strong curriculum focus on the facilitating subjects of English and Mathematics
- Support all pupils to lead healthy and safe lifestyles
- Support all pupils to develop the skills, behaviours and attitudes that will enable them to reintegrate and be successful in the next phase of their education.
