Our Approach
The Invictus Alternative Provision Estate
Both Greenhill Alternative Learning Campus and Invictus Revive Learning Centre are departments of Leasowes High School, therefore are not required to register as independent provisions. Students who join these settings will be part of the Leasowes High School student body and the wider Invictus Education Trust community. Any placements within both settings are classed as off-site direction for all learners, apart from those who are placed by Leasowes High School. All staff and students adhere to the policies and procedures set out by Leasowes and the Trust.
The Greenhill Approach
The Greenhill approach is renowned for implementing innovative, proactive and fast paced strategies when working with young people. This is evident by our success rates in ensuring learners gain qualifications and progress to post 16 education and or training. In 2022 100% of young people progressed to post 16 education. 91% of year 11’s in 2022 achieved GCSEs in both English and Maths, 64% of the cohort achieved 5 GCSEs or equivalent at grades 9 – 1.
Our multi-disciplinary team consists of accomplished teaching staff, AP practitioners and a committed SENDCo . We strive to provide excellent levels of pastoral care and academic support to help learners of all abilities achieve their aspirations, regardless of the barriers they face.
Greenhill is a lively, innovative and caring environment that promotes success, active citizenship and focusses on achieving outcomes of benefit to students and our partner schools.
The array of curriculum pathways on offer provide a route of study for all who engage; this confident statement is justified by our commitment to never have more than 35 learners on site at any one time. This results in high levels of attainment, additional needs support and the acquisition of qualifications and skills.
The Leasowes High School founded initiative has a proven track record for delivering alternative learning which enriches the lives of those it supports. A personalised approach that tailors learning to the individuals needs is the basis for success at Greenhill.
We work alongside our families and mainstream schools and the length of time that a student is with us is dictated entirely by the personal need of that student. For a small number, these will be shorter placements. For many a much longer placement is required because of the profound need of the student concerned.
The team look forward to welcoming learners to our provision from across the Dudley, Sandwell, Worcestershire and Birmingham boroughs following a half a million-capital redevelopment of the site. Contact Greenhill to commission a student placement today.
The Revive Approach
Our new provision based in the heart of Dudley is reviving young people’s desire to want to learn and engage positively with others. Students benefit from a much smaller setting and a work related/enterprise curriculum blended with GCSEs and enrichment opportunities.
Enterprise is a popular part of the time table. With close support from patient, knowledgeable teachers and support staff, young people in Keys stages 3 and 4 will embark on a journey of enterprising activities, creating and selling goods both in person and virtually; think pop up shops, trade fayres and street markets as just some of the opportunities to be customer facing students will encounter.
These experiences give learners a chance to gain team work, communication and work-based skills that will be transferrable to adulthood. Small group teaching in English and Maths alongside a vocational personal development curriculum and close pastoral support are employed to ensure students acquire the knowledge needed to achieve in assessments and improve attendance in school.
Students are benefiting from our extensive links with support services and the Reflexions team allowing students to navigate any barriers to attend. The small classes sizes mean lessons in English, Maths, Science and Art mean teachers are able to expedite progress and ensure students narrow the gaps in their knowledge; achieving their ‘end points’ as they would in a mainstream classroom.
The team at Revive are looking forward to receiving your applications for young people to join them on a journey to strive, achieve and thrive.
