Abstract

The focus of this research is exploring the views of pupils and medical education provision staff about what factors make a reintegration to a permanent education setting from alternative medical education provision successful. The views were gathered from pupils who have been supported by the alternative medical education provision and have then reintegrated back into a school or post-16 setting within the last 3 years. Views were gathered from staff within the alternative medical education provision about what they believe supports pupils to reintegrate back into permanent education settings. Through a mixed methods approach using Q methodology with pupils, and semi structured interviews with staff that were analysed using thematic analysis, factors were identified that supported successful reintegration including relationships with staff, planning, individual support, and communication. The implications of the findings are discussed in relation to the role of school staff and educational psychologists.
