Supporting Exclusions & Alternative Provision
Exclusions are a last resort — but when they happen, every pupil still deserves access to high-quality, supportive education. We help schools provide the right pathways for pupils who can’t remain in mainstream settings.
The challenge
Managing exclusions and alternative provision (AP) is complex. Schools often struggle with:
- Rising numbers of permanent or fixed-term exclusions
- Limited access to suitable local AP
- Pressure to keep pupils engaged and on roll
- Lack of specialist staff to support reintegration or remote learning
Pupils in AP are among the most vulnerable — and need specialist, person-centred support.

- SEND & Behaviour Expertise: Specialist tutors, mentors and therapists for pupils with complex needs.
