Background

Gloucestershire’s Alternative Provision Development Project was launched in June 2020 and is part of the Joint High Needs Transformation Programme. Linked to this we are seeking to further improve the arrangements that are in place for the children and young people in Gloucestershire who have been, or are at risk of being, excluded from school.

There are now two local authority maintained alternative provision schools (also known as Pupil Referral Units) in Gloucestershire who work with children and young people who have been, or are at risk of being, excluded from school. The Gloucester and Forest Alternative Provision School (GFAPS) and Severn Valley School.

Gloucestershire County Council has worked in partnership with the Management Committees of these two schools to develop a joint proposal to bring these two schools together to form a single institution with effect from September 2023. We believe this will better enable them to continue to provide high quality education for pupils at the right time and in the right way as well as create a greater consistency of offer to Gloucestershire’s schools and the vulnerable children and young people we serve, so that they can achieve the best possible outcomes.

You can read more about this proposal and give your views on bringing the two schools together by clicking on the link in 'related projects'.

Vision and values

Alongside this, we will be seeking your views to establish the vision, values and ways of working for the school from September 2023. Your feedback will be essential in determining what is important to our pupils, families, staff and other key stakeholders, and how we move forward with this new opportunity.

Due to the timescales involved, it is necessary to start this work ahead of any final approval that is given to bring these two schools together (which is anticipated to be in early March 2023).

Have your say by clicking on the survey link below. The survey will run from 22 September to 21 October 2022.
