About the Academy

Outwood Alternative Provision Eston is a unique centre that caters to students from Outwood Academies in the Northern Region who require additional support due to behavioural, social, emotional, or mental health challenges.

Our commitment to inclusion drives us to provide a safe and nurturing environment for vulnerable students who exhibit challenging behaviours and are at risk of exclusion. With smaller class sizes, we prioritise personal development and student well-being without compromising academic excellence.

Our goal is to ensure that all students can succeed and transition to their next stage with confidence, whether it's further education, employment, or training.

Using this data you will help to support and implement individual development plans, termly reviews and healthcare plans.
