Alternative Provision - Home Tutoring
What we provide
We provide Alternative Provision at home for children and young adults aged 3-24 years, of all abilities who are not able to attend school and need a bespoke one-to-one support package within the learners' home or in the community. We support learners with complex SEND including ASC and PDA, severe anxiety and SEMH, trauma and medical needs. We provide rehabilitation to help develop and maintain skills for learners with brain injuries, degenerative and life limiting conditions and for young people who are on palliative care.
​​
We specialise in engaging with learners with complex needs to establish and embed methods of interaction, engagement and communication. We believe that before a young person can re-engage with learning it is vital that they feel safe and nurtured to develop a sense of trust in order for them to thrive.
​
Our curriculum is bespoke to each learners individual needs incorporating their special interests and hobbies and delivered in a pressure free, purposeful and multi sensory way. It doesn't matter if the young person is in a wheelchair, standing frame, laying on a bed we can adapt to minimise any barriers to learning and engagement.
​
We not only focus on the curriculum but for young people with degenerative or life limiting conditions, we focus on maintaining skills and give some stability and routine to their day.
​
Our overall aim is to have fun, create memories and work towards what is relevant to each individual.​
These are just a few examples of how we can adapt the curriculum to make it appropriate to our learners' needs.
