SEND Information
Rise Carr College – Pupil Referral Unit
Rise Carr College is a KS3 and KS4 PRU (Pupil Referral Unit) and can only be accessed via Darlington Local Authority and Darlington’s mainstream secondary schools. Our students have significant barriers to learning which can be classed as social, emotional and mental health difficulties, communication and interaction difficulties, physical difficulties or cognition and learning difficulties. All of our learners have either been permanently excluded or are at a high risk of permanent exclusion from mainstream school. Students are referred to Alternative Provision via the Vulnerable Pupil Panel (VPP).Rise Carr College supports students through a SEN profile or One Plan which details their Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Some students may require further support for their Special Educational Needs through an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which means the student may require a change of educational placement because:
- Rise Carr College lacks necessary specialist resources to meet the student’s needs
- Rise Carr College would be unsuitable for the age, ability, aptitude, vulnerability or SEN of the young
person - The attendance of the young person at Rise Carr College would be incompatible with the efficient
education of other students
