Internal Alternative Provision Pathway

Our IAP allows your most at-risk students to access specialist provision while remaining in school.
- Through our IAP service we offer tailored core education in small targeted groups, along with significant support to meet additional needs, with the aim of preparing our young people to be ‘classroom ready’ and integrate back into mainstream education.

- Individuals accessing this support are provided with the opportunity to discuss and understand their barriers, find and agree strategies for managing them positively and plan for effective and appropriate reintegration.
- This service is most effective when referred at the earliest point of concern.
