NRC Context • New Regent’s College (NRC) runs KS4 alternative provision across Hackney. We have approx 200 year 10 and 11 students on role. • Students are referred to us from a variety of institutions at the end of KS3 and during KS4. These referrals come from the PRU panel, new to borough or country or students with special circumstances. • We have 20 providers in and around the borough, who offer a range of courses, from re-engagement, ESOL, GCSE courses, as well as Vocational courses.
Personalised programmes • Our Induction programme identified a group of students that our Menu of providers didn’t accommodate. • These students were high ability GCSE students who we unable to be placed as they were year 11. • We discussed this situation with a provider and they devised a course to meet these students’ needs.
