Alternative provision for schools and LAs Structured, purposeful and fully reported.

Alternative provision for children and young people educated outside mainstream school. Commissioned by schools and local authorities. Delivered with consistency and care.

AP that is genuinely alternative

Our alternative provision is built around individual children – their EHCP outcomes, their emotional baseline, and their educational needs. Every placement starts with an assessment and a personalised plan.

We deliver across multiple environments: Roper Yard, Canterbury, Maypole Farm, at the student's home, online and community space. We can match the setting to the child, not the other way around.

As a local authority preferred SEND provider, we understand commissioning expectations. We provide timely, accurate documentation and are fully responsive to reviewing professionals.
