Alternative Provisions & Pupil Referral Units

To support Pupil Referral Units and Alternative Provisions

to deliver the #BeeWell survey, the following support is available:

An extended parent/carer opt-out deadline

Whilst other schools are asked to send these in the summer term – due to the fluid student population this can be completed in September. A member of the #BeeWell team will be in touch to arrange this with you.

A more flexible survey window

We recognise how busy the school year is, and the challenges and uncertainties associated with a fluid student population. To account for this, the #BeeWell survey window is being extended to the end of the Autumn term. APs and PRUs can opt to begin their surveys after the half-term break, meaning that the most accurate, up to date information can be used to identify eligible pupils.

A more accessible survey

A short version of the #BeeWell survey, containing 32 items, has been created for non-mainstream school settings, accounting for a range of abilities and a shorter completion time. This version, developed in consultation with staff and pupils in non-mainstream school settings, is also available to AP and PRU settings.

A symbol version

PRUs and APs can also access a symbol version of the #BeeWell survey where appropriate – school staff will be asked to identify which young people this may be suitable for.

Survey delivery and implementation

You will have a named contact in the #BeeWell to specifically support your setting and to assist in making the timelines work for you and your school.

General and bespoke feedback

With the aim of collecting increased survey responses from students in non-mainstream settings and maximising feedback, #BeeWell will be able to generate a general report relevant to the AP and PRU context. Additionally, for settings with more than 10 survey responses, #BeeWell will provide bespoke feedback reports that enable you to view outcomes for your pupils alongside those of the AP/PRU sector across the region.
