For children who need something different
We support primary-aged children, from 6 to 12, for whom mainstream school hasn't been the right fit — yet. Many arrive tired, anxious or disheartened. They leave a little taller.
The children
we know well
Children with an EHCP or special educational needs (SEND)
Where a mainstream setting can't provide the level of individual support a plan requires.
Children who find large, busy classrooms overwhelming
For whom noise, crowds and pace have made school a place of anxiety rather than learning.
Children whose confidence has been knocked
Who have come to believe they're "no good at school" and need to rediscover that they can.
Children who need education and therapy together
Where speech, occupational or emotional support needs to sit alongside learning, not apart from it.
WHEN ALTERNATIVE PROVISION HELPS
Signs a different setting may help
School has become a daily struggle
Mornings are hard, attendance is slipping, and the child is increasingly distressed by the idea of going in.
Progress has stalled
Despite everyone's best efforts, learning isn't moving forward and the gap is widening.
Support needs to come together
A child needs teaching, therapy and emotional support to work as one — in one place, with one team.
Every child who comes to us has more in them than school has been able to show. Our job is to help it surface.
Is this your child?
If any of this feels familiar, let's talk. There's no pressure — just a conversation about what might help.
