This opportunity aims to offer tailored support for students for whom mainstream education is no longer a suitable option. The provision will deliver a bespoke curriculum mapped to mainstream standards, focusing on expectation of therapeutic and clinical input and staff supervision. The provision will offer core subjects, life skills, and vocational courses linked to the student interest. We are looking for providers with specialist staff experienced in alternative provision and inclusion, who can offer embedded pastoral support, including restorative practice and therapeutic input. Flexible pathways for reintegration to mainstream education, apprenticeships, or onward alternative education will also be central to this provision. Providers must be able to demonstrate an ability to develop and deliver meaningful, interventions for KS4 students to enable pupils to successfully return to school/education or to support prevention of NEET; working towards post-16 progression for those Y11 complex cases where a return to school is an impractical transition.
