Alternative Provision

Throughout the year we deliver bespoke, accredited, term-time alternative provision programmes for young people in Wiltshire, Swindon, Somerset, Berkshire, who are not in mainstream school at all times. We take referrals from Social Services, Youth offending teams, Looked after Children Teams (Virtual schools), mainstream schools, special schools and colleges.

We offer individual packages to young people according to their needs, with high levels of support and offer a nurturing and developed curriculum encompassing creative arts, life and social skills development through tailored activities, mentoring, study support, accredited Arts Award qualification, access to ongoing educational and training opportunities and Kandu Projects outside term time.
