Looked After Children & Previously Looked After Children Policy (2021)
Aims
At Symphony Learning Trust, we will do for Looked-After Children (LAC) and Previously Looked-After Children (PLAC) what we do for all children, only more so. We aim to ensure that LAC and PLAC excel, as we aim for all children to excel. We aim to overcome their barriers to learning and enable them to leave us happy and secure in themselves, and also to understand that they have control over their destiny and that education does matter. We will listen to what LAC and PLAC tell us about what they want from their education, and we will try to address any concerns or issues raised through various means including the school’s Student Council and surveys.
Symphony Learning Trust strives to ensure that the culture and ethos of the school are such that, whatever the heritage and origins of members of the school, pupils are provided with the opportunity to experience, understand and celebrate diversity.
