We have an awesome offer at Hawkswood Secondary Therapeutic. This includes class based learning and interventions. We use a range of data to demonstrate the impact of placements at Hawkswood Secondary Therapeutic. This data includes:
Attendance Data
hile we are an alternative provision, our pupils are expected to move back to mainstream school, or to a long term specialist provision. In order for the greatest impact of the work we do with children and their families, attendance is of paramount importance. We work closely with families and agencies to support high levels of attendance to ensure that pupils attend school daily. We do however recognise that for some pupils, particularly at the start of their placement, improving attendance is a gradual process.
We are proud that compared to other AP’s attendance at Hawkswood Secondary is significantly higher than the national average, we strive to ensure that attendance is moving towards that of mainstream schools.
| National Mainstream | National AP | Hawkswood Secondary | |

92.5% | 60.2% | 75% |
| 2021/22 Attendance |
93.1% | 64.4% | 78% |
While attendance data sits below national averages for mainstream pupils, we also track the percentage improvement from referral to the end of placement. In 2022/23 on average, pupil attendance increased by 36% during their placement.
Integration Data
One of the key aims of the school is integration of children either back to their referring school, or where appropriate into long term specialist provisions.
