Terms and Conditions for Elevated Futures

Last Updated: November 2025

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the relationship between Elevated Futures ("the School," "we," "us," or "our") and the parents, guardians, or sponsoring authorities ("the Parent/Carer" or "you") regarding the enrollment and education of a pupil ("the Pupil") at the School.

1. Basis of Agreement

  1. Acceptance: These Terms, together with the Pupil's Dynamic Development Plan (DDP), the Admission Form, the current Fee Schedule, and the School's policies (including the Privacy Policy, Safeguarding Policy, and Exclusion Policy), form the entire agreement ("the Agreement").
  2. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

2. Fees and Payment

  1. Fee Schedule: Fees are determined by the School's current Fee Schedule, supplied to the Parent/Carer or Local Authority (LA) upon request or as part of the placement agreement.
  2. Payment Obligation: The Parent/Carer, or the Sponsoring Authority (e.g., LA), is solely responsible for ensuring fees are paid on time.
  3. Late Payment: The School reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at a rate of 4% per annum above the Bank of England base rate, calculated daily.
  4. Annual Review: Fees are subject to annual review and increase, usually effective from September.

3. The Dynamic Development Plan (DDP)

  1. Core Provision: The DDP is the central, strengths-based framework for the Pupil’s education and support, developed and reviewed collaboratively with the Pupil, Parent/Carer, and specialist staff.
  2. Compliance: The Parent/Carer agrees to support the goals, strategies, and therapeutic interventions outlined within the Pupil's DDP and any associated statutory document (e.g., EHC Plan).
  3. Review: The DDP is a living document and will be formally reviewed at least annually, or more frequently as needed by the School's Senior Leadership Team.

4. Therapeutic and Specialist Support

  1. Integrated Support: The School provides integrated therapeutic support (e.g., Speech and Language Therapy (SaLT), Occupational Therapy (OT)) as specified in the Pupil's DDP.
  2. Absence of Guarantee: While the School aims for excellent outcomes, no guarantee is given regarding the Pupil's academic results, therapeutic progress, or personal development, as progress is inherently individual.

5. Termination and Notice

  1. Minimum Notice: The Parent/Carer must provide a full term's written notice to the Headteacher before withdrawing the Pupil from the School, or a term's fees in lieu of notice will be charged.
  2. Immediate Withdrawal: In cases of immediate withdrawal, the School reserves the right to charge the full fees for the following term, plus any outstanding debts.
  3. School's Right to Terminate: The School may terminate the Agreement immediately and require the Pupil's withdrawal if:
    • The Parent/Carer fails to pay fees on time.
    • The Pupil’s conduct is incompatible with the School’s welfare or the safety of others, despite the School's application of specialist behavior management strategies.
    • The Parent/Carer breaches these Terms in a material way.

6. Liability and Indemnity

  1. Limitation of Liability: The School is not liable for loss or damage to the Pupil's personal property while on School premises or during School activities.
  2. Medical Treatment: The Parent/Carer grants authority to the Headteacher, or a designated representative, to act in loco parentis to consent to emergency medical treatment, hospitalization, or surgery if the Parent/Carer cannot be reached immediately.
