At Trekenner, we recognise the right of parents to choose a suitable education for their child according to the child’s needs coupled with the family’s philosophical views and values; we welcome all children irrespective of need, background or belief to our school.
We do consider flexi-schooling, however our provision is predominately aimed at children who are or have been Electively Home Educated. We will, however, also consider requests from parents whose children are finding formal education in their current setting a challenge that is likely to lead them to school refuse. In all circumstances, each application is considered on a case-by-case basis, even within the same family.
Prospective parents need to be aware that we will not consider any requests for a flexi-schooling place if their child has been excluded or expelled. However, this would not prevent you applying for a normal place.
It is important that prospective parents are aware that schools/academies are not required by law to provide or offer flexi-schooling. Flexi-schooling places at Trekenner School are granted at the sole discretion of the head teacher – there are no rights of appeal to Governors, LA, and the DfE or through the legal system if this is declined, varied by the school, or revoked.
