Children and young people who attend as day pupils at Whitstone Head School receive the same range of services as boarding pupils apart from access to residential care. All children and young people receive individually planned and structured needs-based provision, combining as appropriate: personalised teaching and learning; personalised learning support; personalised behaviour and education support; personalised health and social care; personalised health, mental health and well-being support; mediated learning and development; and outreach and in-reach services. The school aims to provide high quality, multi-disciplinary services for children and young people with emotional, social and behavioural needs, wherever possible, working in partnership with parents and/or carers. Partnership is offered to all parents/carers at the point of initial contact, reinforced as part of admission arrangements and formalised during the first weeks of the trial placement and assessment. The school's services are flexible and needs led and, therefore, offer support calls (by phone), home visits and appointments that are sensitive to the requests and circumstances of parents/carers. The school works in close collaboration with other child agencies to ensure the provision of the most effective service in the best interests of the child or a young person.
