EAP is a co-educational Alternative Provision (AP) that provides a bespoke educational offer to students aged 11-16 who have either been permanently excluded, have a diagnosed mental health condition and interim provision for students who have yet to be placed in mainstream or have an EHCP. We also provide home tuition to students aged (4-16) who have a physical medical condition which means they are unable to attend school for a period of time.

Our vision is to deliver high-quality education within a supportive, reflective, and purposeful learning environment. We are committed to consistently meeting the unique needs of our students and their families, ensuring they feel safe, valued, and empowered to grow. Through a therapeutic approach, we aim to inspire better life choices and create clear pathways to a happy, successful future. Our intent is to build positive and trusting relationships with all stakeholders and to re-engage children successfully with their learning.
