Education is at the heart of each child’s placement within our homes because while we can’t promise they’ll all love homework, we can promise we’ll cheer them on through it.
Our aim is to provide every young person with the opportunity to develop the skills, confidence, and qualifications they need to thrive and achieve their full potential. Whether it’s academic success, learning practical life skills, or discovering a hidden talent (yes, even the one who insists they “hate school”), we’re here to support every step of the journey.
Why Us?
As a care organisation, Blossom Care places high emphasis on children’s educational welfare and in assisting children and young people to meet their full educational potential and achieve their highest academic level possible. Where possible, it is our aim that the majority of children and young people attend Local Authority mainstream schools or special educational schools. If it is not possible for the children or young people to attend mainstream or special educational needs provision then it will be organized that the child or young person is home tutored.
Our main and ultimate purpose is to support young people back into mainstream or special education. This is achieved in conjunction with the young person’s LEA and any local resources available. It will be the responsibility of the child’s or young person’s key worker to remain in contact and liaise with the individual’s school or tutor to remain in knowledge of the progress of the child or young person.
Blossom Care will thrive on making and maintaining healthy and good relationships with all educational parties involved with the child or young person to ensure that they are receiving the best education available. A member of staff within each home has responsibility for maintaining links with the young person’s school. (This will be undertaken by the individuals’ key worker). As an organisation we will thrive to maintain strong connections with the individuals educational models, whether be mainstream school – personal tutor/s.
