About Pre-Site Support

The Loft, located in Bowling next to Bowling Park Primary School on New Cross Street, serves as a pre-site assessment centre for up to 8 students. Students will attend either AM or PM sessions for initial assessments and to ensure students are stable and familiar with our ways of working prior to moving to one of the other sites to access full time education. Students will only attend this site for a short period.

The Bungalow, located in Eccleshill next to Holybrook Primary School, serves as a site for up to 5 students with high-end anxiety and EBSA characteristics. Students may stay at this site for a longer period as required.

Intent

The Pre-Site offer at Bradford AP Academy aims to re-engage students through a flexible curriculum adapted to the needs of each individual student. This is done after a preliminary assessment to identify current gaps and their ability to move towards work related expectations.

Through the teaching of age-appropriate work in the core subjects of English and Maths, together with practical subjects of art and cooking, we aim to improve their confidence as well as their social, emotional and mental health and well-being.

By striking the right balance between core subjects and practical skills for each individual student, trust is established through positive relationships. This builds on their confidence and prepares them for transition to our larger sites with the minimum of anxiety and the best prospect of success.

Students, when ready to move on, will be individually supported into the next educational phase of their journey.
