Improving the arrangements at Gloucestershire's pupil referral units
Published
Following a period of engagement with parents and other key stakeholders during 2021, January 2022 saw the coming together of The Stroud and Cotswolds Alternative Provision School (SCAPS) and The Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Alternative Provision School (CTAPS) as a single institution renamed Severn Valley School.
In September Gloucestershire County Council will be launching a period of stakeholder engagement in relation to a proposal to bring Severn Valley School and The Gloucester and Forest Alternative Provision School (GFAPS) together as one entity with effect from September 2023. This will create one single Alternative Provision School supporting children and young people who have been, and are at risk of being, excluded from school and provides us with a unique opportunity to consider how the sites and provision can be best structured to meet the needs of the pupils it serves.
The engagement period will run from 7 September till 7 October 2022.
During the course of the last 12 months we have been working with the Headteacher and management committees of Severn Valley School and GFAPS to identity and deliver on a number of projects that will further enhance the learning facilities and outdoor spaces at the different centres across the county. Pupils and staff will notice these changes when they return in September as a number are due to be completed over the summer holidays, building on the work undertaken through the year.
