Vulnerable Learners

At All Cannings all of us are fully committed to ensuring every learner achieves what they can. Although this is a collective responsibility, achieved by school involving home and the child, we recognise that having staff outside those directly involved in class is important.  As a result we have created a Vulnerable Learners Team, made up of the following people;

Michelle Draisey - Emotional and Behavioural/Specific Learning Difficulties (SPLD) Lead

Thom Wilson - Pupil Premium/ Vulnerable Learners Governor

Richard Borman - Headteacher and SENCO

Vulnerable learners at All Cannings School could be any child, either for a one-off point, a particular period or their entire time at school. Pupils in the following categories will always be considered potentially vulnerable;

• Looked-after children (LAC)
• Pupils on the SEND register
• Pupil Premium children – those ‘Ever 6’ in receipt of Free School Meals
• Children who have emotional/behavioural difficulties, including historical trauma or mental health issues
• Pupils At Risk Of Underachieving (in core subjects) – identified at Pupil Progress meetings
• Pupils who have attendance issues – below 85% (unless identified issues/circumstances)

The team meet three times a year, working together to provide the additional support which vulnerable learners may require in order to achieve results that are in line with other children and young people.
