Details

In this qualitative research study, we explore the purpose of AP, the reasons why primary-age pupils are referred to it, and the expectations for their progress and outcomes. We identify examples of joined-up working that would benefit pupils.

We also highlight the challenges in supporting primary-age pupils with additional needs, such as a lack of access to specialist help or a breakdown in the relationships between parents and school staff.

This study is based on a sample of:

  • 10 primary schools
  • 8 APs
  • 1 social, emotional and mental health school
  • 5 local authorities
