Key Stages 3-4
Whitmore Park Annexe is a small Pupil Referral Unit which offers a bridge to individuals on Home Tuition to experience small group tuition in a classroom setting again. This allows students to rediscover social situations and experience classroom routines again. We offer three distinct curriculum pathways at Whitmore Park Annexe:
- RESPIRE: 1:1 or 1:2 teaching on a bespoke part-time timetable
- INSPIRE: a full-time foundation curriculum offer for students with KS3 age/stage related expectations
- ASPIRE: a full-time academic curriculum offer for students.
All pupils accessing the Hospital Education Service via Whitmore Park Annexe or 1:1 will be offered Enrichment, Careers Programme and host of Character Development opportunities.
The Pod - All Key Stages
On-site at Whitmore Park Annexe we have now installed a new POD classroom facility for 1:1 tuition. The POD is equipped with two learning classrooms allowing pupils to access lessons with a tutor and have access to IT technology and other exciting learning resources.
Dress code
Inclusion is at the heart of all we do at Whitmore Park Annexe. We offer a safe and secure learning environment where everyone is treated equally and fairly. Our dress code is optional and is intended to eliminate the anxiety that some learners feel when deciding what to wear to school, or to offer a comfortable option for those who experience sensory discomfort when wearing certain fabrics.
Many of the young people directed towards our service will probably already have some of the items on the dress code list. Our intention is to keep costs low for families and it is for this reason that we propose a plain, gender neutral dress code (aligned with the Equality Act 2010) comprising of clothing from the following list:
Do wear
- Black or grey trousers or jogging bottoms appropriate for school
- Black or grey plain school skirt (knee-length) with black or grey opaque tights or socks
- White school shirt or polo with collar
- Comfortable black shoes, boots or black trainers
- Clip-on tie (optional and provided by school)
- Plain black or grey cardigan, hoodie or sweatshirt
Don't wear
- Jeans
- Tight mini skirts
- Sandals, high heels, flip-flops, sliders
- Hoodies or sweatshirts
