A significant number of pupils are struggling to attend school, many due to emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA) and these pupils are at risk of being suspended and excluded from mainstream education. A high proportion of these pupils are in Year 10 or 11 which is crucial time to secure a pathway to Post-16 education or employment. There is a recognition for a varied curriculum which will help these pupils to engage in education and provide a base for Post-16 qualifications whilst enabling them to continue to access education and take their GCSEs in English and Mathematics. The aim of this project is to provide a vocational offer which will support these pupils to not only continue their learning, but also to reduce the risk of suspensions and exclusions and provide a clear pathway of education from Key Stage 4 through to Post-16. Cornwall council would like for the provision to offer 36 - 54 placements for pupils from Key Stage 4 (years 10 and 11) across 3 sites, ensuring a fair geographical spread of the service across Cornwall.", "status": "complete", "procurementMethod": "direct", "procurementMethodDetails": "Direct award", "procurementMethodRationale": "Direct Award in Special Cases under Section 41 of PA23, Schedule 5, Clause 7 - \"The public contract concerns a supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement, of, existing goods services or works, AND (b) the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operational maintenance.\" Due to budget restraints. The trial with Cornwall College was initially for one year (2023/2024) and extended to a second year (2024/2025).The trial period was extended and named the Thrive Model. Review of the model and analysis of the qualitative analysis of the data has shown that it is making significant difference to the engagement and attendance of young people and also their onwards trajectory to further education, and employment.
