PRIMARY

A Place to Reconnect, Learn and Thrive

Our Primary Alternative Provision provides a safe, nurturing and engaging environment for children who are finding mainstream education difficult to access.

Based on the belief that connection comes first, we create a calm and supportive environment where children can rebuild trust, develop confidence and rediscover their enjoyment of learning.

OUR CORE PRILLARS

CONNECTION FIRST

We build trust and relationships before expecting children to engage fully with learning.

CURIOSITY ALWAYS

We create opportunities for children to explore, discover, ask questions and develop a love of learning.

CONFIDENCE FOREVER

We celebrate progress and achievement, helping every child recognise their strengths and believe in their own potential.

KS1 & KS2 RE-ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMME

Our KS1 and KS2 programme supports children who may be experiencing disengagement, anxiety, behavioural challenges, SEND needs, low attendance or difficulties accessing the mainstream classroom.

Strictly maximum 4 pupils per educator. Bespoke individualised education plans tuned to specific diagnostic and developmental baselines.

Small-Group & Tailored Pathways

Systematic synthetic phonics catch-up, multi-sensory reading immersion, expressive language expansion, and low-threat guided storytelling.

Literacy, Phonics & Reading

Hands-on manipulatives, real-life problem solving (measuring, budgeting, spatial reasoning), removing numeracy-related anxiety through tactile mastery.

Numeracy & Practical Maths

Thematic inquiry intersecting STEM, history, and natural sciences. Pupils investigate subjects of genuine interest to cultivate agency and sustained focus.

Topic-Based & Project Work

Explicit exploration of personal identity, naming complex emotions, recognizing sensory triggers, boundaries, and healthy communication skills.

PSHE & Social-Emotional Mastery

Imaginative play zones, ceramics, music therapy improvisation, and expressive drama games designed to release somatic tension and expand creativity.

Creative Arts, Drama & Play

Gross motor coordination, active sensory obstacle courses, rhythmic games, and cooperative non-punitive physical sports.

PE, Movement & Rebound Play

PBS frameworks, non-coercive praise models, daily social coaching, and proactive de-escalation rather than punitive consequence cycles.

Daily Positive Behaviour Support

Weekly quantified reports, attendance telemetry, qualitative behavioral logs, and collaborative reintegration reviews with referring teams.

Therapeutic Philosophy

"We recognise that children cannot always access learning until their emotional, sensory and regulation needs have been understood and supported."

Our provision therefore incorporates therapeutic and regulation-focused approaches throughout the school day.

Depending on individual need, activities may include:

Rebound therapy

Sensory activities

Trampolining and movement-based interventions

Emotional regulation strategies

Forest school

Creative and expressive activities

Nurture-based approaches

Mindfulness and relaxation

Social communication activities

Support from appropriately qualified therapeutic professionals

These approaches are integrated into the child's daily experience rather than being viewed as separate from education.

Learning Through Movement, Creativity & Play

Primary-aged children make sense of the world through kinetic participation and artistic storytelling. We treat active play as essential cognitive infrastructure.
