The guidance says that children who are full time special school pupils should be excluded. Does this include children who are full time in special behavioral units?
Special Behavioral Units should also be excluded from the indicator. Q: We have a Looked after child who was an inpatient at an adolescent mental health unit attached to a psychiatric hospital but with a school attached to the unit. The child was due to be placed in a mainstream school but this broke down and she is now in a Residential Home with Education provision attached. My query is does the above fall into the special school category as far as attendance is concerned. A: The type of setting you have discussed in your query would effectively be ‘home education’ provided by the LEA and would not be classed as a special school. This setting however is not really the type of mainstream school/education that the PI is trying to identify. Therefore do not include this scenario in the Pi.
