The Key Stage 5 Offer

Simmons House - Hospital Provision

The 12 treatment beds in the specialist hospital provision are part of a national service for young people aged 13-17. Referral to this provision is exclusively via the NHS psychiatric pathway and patients join the HLP interim roll for the duration of their hospital admission. Pupils engage in a highly personalised curriculum, with a focus on assessment to identify any existing and potential barriers to learning and transition planning begins on admission. The provision is a registered exam centre and teachers work systemically to understand and facilitate opportunities for change in both the young person and in the systems around them.
