We see education as being fundamental in the life
experience of a child or young person, and view the
processes of living and learning as being inextricably
linked.
We are committed to
promoting the educational well-being of all children and
young people placed in our care, and strive to
ensure they are offered the best possible opportunities
to develop their true academic and educational
potentials and navigate the obstacles that have coloured
their previous experiences of education and learning.
All children and young people living at Springfields,
Seafields, and Westfields attend school or college -
this is a condition of their placement with us.
We meet the emotional-educational needs of children and
young people through accurately assessing their individual
educational aptitudes, abilities, and requirements at the referral stage.
In partnership with the placing authority, and
consultation with the child or young person, we use this
to plan and support the child's attendance in an
appropriate educational settings.
Strong positive links are established and maintained with mainstream
schools and colleges within the local area that are sensitive to and
understanding of the needs of the children and young people in our care.
We also promote links with specialist schools and colleges within
the local area that support students with learning
difficulties.
The Lioncare School is DfES Registered

The Lioncare Group, and forms an integral and essential
part of the whole living-learning package of therapeutic
care and education offered by our organisation. Any child or young person
needing specialist SEBD education can attend

Regardless of which school or
college they attend, all children and young people
living with us can expect their achievements to be
recognised and applauded, talents, skills, and
social/cultural interests actively supported, and key
workers to attend school social events and parent’s
evenings / open days. Children and young people
are strongly supported in doing homework and home
studies, as is their participation in extra curricular
activities such as clubs and sports.
Bullying
or discrimination at school/college is dealt with
effectively,
and
regular dialogue is maintained with
teachers, tutors, and social workers to quickly identify
and address learning or other difficulties experienced
by the child or young person.
