At Access Alternative Provision, our mission is to re-engage and empower young learners aged 11–16 through personalised, trauma informed educational pathways. We build confidence, restore a love of learning, and support each student toward meaningful reintegration into mainstream education or further pathways.

Mission Statement

Vision Statement

Our vision is to ensure that every young person, whatever their circumstances, has access to compassionate and flexible learning that recognises and nurtures their potential. Through personalised support and innovative pathways, we empower learners to build thriving futures where they feel a true sense of belonging and are able to flourish

Empathy & Safety

We are committed to creating safe and welcoming environments that build trust and promote healing, providing the foundation for meaningful re-engagement with education.

Resilience

We nurture resilience and emotional strength, supporting learners to overcome challenges and rebuild a positive connection with learning.

Personalisation

Every learner is unique, and our flexible, tailored programmes adapt to their individual needs, strengths, and aspirations.

Progress with Purpose

We set high yet realistic goals for academic, personal, and emotional growth, grounded in evidence and focused on real-world relevance.

Collaboration & Community

Together with families, schools, and statutory bodies, we create inclusive support networks that champion and sustain every learner’s journey.
