Cared For Children

Caring for Looked After Children (LAC) and Ex-LAC

Some of our students are, or have been cared for by their local authority. We are committed to ensure that these students have access to all the opportunities available to other students, and that they are able to flourish at our academy.

We follow Salford City Council’s promise to looked after children and care leavers which you can read on their website.
