We offer part-time placements for learners in school years 7 and upwards who are currently unable to access (or fully access) mainstream school.  We are a nurturing environment where learners achieve academically.  Our staff consists of qualified and experienced English, Maths, Science and ESOL Teachers, a number of skilled LSAs and Tutors, and our beautiful wellbeing dogs. 

We can support learners working at all academic levels - including those working towards GCSEs and create bespoke programmes depending upon individual need.

We have learners with us for a variety of reasons, including:

- EBSA

- Challenging behaviour

- SEN (including ADHD and autism)

- ESOL learners

- Anxiety and depression

As well as academic subjects, our learners also participate in a variety of enrichment activities and can also work towards awards in areas such as Hairdressing, Photography or Art.

We are not a school; we are a part-time Alternative Provider.  Schools retain all safeguarding and other statutory responsibilities.  Placements with us should always be part of a package. We do not provide full-time education.

A basic placement is three half day sessions (7.5 hours per week) per week but learners can attend four or five times per week if desired.

A basic placement costs £383.16 per week, but, understanding the financial pressures on schools, we only charge for the first 30 weeks of an academic year (any remaining weeks are free) so our hourly rates for schools work out at between £39.30 and £51.09, depending upon how long your learner is with us.

We would be delighted to hear from you if you would like to explore whether ALP would be a good fit for any of your young people.
