Home Tuition
Aspire's Home Tuition service provides education for primary and secondary children who are unable to attend their mainstream school because of health needs, and who are away from school for 15 days or more, whether consecutive or cumulative.
Referrals should be made by a child's school, through our usual referral process. As part of the referral process, medical evidence from a medical consultant, GP or CAMHS must be provided. Aspire will seek advice from the child's current school to establish the amount, pattern and location of the tuition, as well as to plan a student's reintegration back to their school. Students are taught on a one to one basis in or small groups which means that staff can focus on developing positive, trusting relationships with students, and are able to highly personalise the teaching and be responsive to student needs.
Where possible subject specialists will work with the pupils in their home, at an approved council premises, at the school rooms in the Aylesbury Aspire site or in their mainstream school as part of their reintegration. The curriculum offer for Home Tuition is broad and, as far as possible, matches the mainstream school curriculum. The curriculum is ambitious in terms of the range of qualifications offered to students, and the wider ambitions held by staff in terms of re-engaging students with learning, encouraging student personal development and independence and widening their horizons and aspirations. On-line learning is also part of the Home Tuition ‘offer’ and, via Teams and Class Notebook, staff are able to teach one-to-one or in small groups, as appropriate. The use of video and audio, along with the individual and personalized teaching and learning means that contact with highly vulnerable students is maintained. Formative assessment is ongoing and continuous, taking into account their physical, medical and emotional condition, and is used to inform planning and support student progress; formal assessment is undertaken, where possible and appropriate, in line with the mainstream school and where appropriate Year 11 students sit mock exams.
