Who we are and our mission

Provision In The Community AP is a centre for disengaged young people from mainstream education and children who sometimes just need a different learning environment. We accept both individuals and full groups. We have
worked in alternative provision for over 8 years helping children develop skills through enrichment and gain qualifications. We are here to support schools with learners who are not achieving in mainstream education for whatever reason, we believe every child has a skill which can lead to them becoming successful in life, its just some skills are outside of what mainstream education can provide.

Schools and teachers are vastly over worked and within classes of up to 30 these young people can become disengaged and a hinderance, with our class ratio and support we can offer these young people the close intimate support they need to still success in education. Over our years of experience working in AP we have found a lot of common interests within the children we work with, we aim to provide all these provisions under one roof alongside the core skills needed within Maths and English.
