- for pupils attending a secondary school with a designated religious character where they have been chosen on the grounds of religion or belief;
- for pupils attending Alternative Provision on part-time timetables;
- for post 16 students with an Education Health and Care Plan; and,
- for post students in mainstream education who do not have an Education Health and Care Plan
