Alternative Provision

What is alternative learning provision?

 

Alternative provision is an education provision for students who are not accessing mainstream education for a variety of reasons.

Alternative Provision

  • is a strategy to avoid permanent exclusion for pupils and to encourage inclusion in education

 

  • recognises we are all individuals with different strengths and weaknesses and that mainstream education is not for everyone.

 

  • offers a different setting with a broader choice of subjects for pupils which may encourage attendance and engagement.

 

 

  • gives pupils a chance to engage in education while they are waiting for a school place to become available.

 

  • offers a more flexible and reduced curriculum for students to study subjects they enjoy and therefore achieve success

Students who are referred by a school remain on roll with that school.  The school funds their place and remains ultimately responsible for the student. The offer of alternative provision shows a commitment by the school to an inclusive approach to the student’s ongoing education.

Students are also referred by residential care companies who access qualified teachers at the provision to deliver bespoke courses. Students are also referred by Councils and PRUs (Pupil Referral Unit’s).

 

Courses offered include teaching and exam

 

  • GCSE courses in English, Maths, Science, RE, ICT, History, Geography, Business Studies, Psychology, Sociology, Preparation for Working Life and English Literature.

    Mike Coole - Invest in Youth Lead Officer (Groundwork Cheshire, Lancashire & Merseyside)

  • As a private training provider that has a requirement for its Learners to gain Level 1 and 2 in Functional Skills; we required the assistance of specialists in the delivery of English and Maths. After meeting with Tower Learning, their understanding of our bespoke working needs and requirements led to them taking over the provision of Functional Skills training for our Learners - and we’ve never looked back. Their team of tutors is highly skilled and capable; they provide a quality driven service that has enhanced our provision for both Learners and our Delivery team. From a business perspective, they offer value for the services provided and pride themselves on working with their clients to meet the clients’ needs. We would happily recommend Tower Learning to any Training Provider, School or College that needs a quality provision, with high standards and great client focus.
