Education.

Aspire offers a wide range of different types of Alternative Provision, for children who are unable to access mainstream schools for a variety of reasons. 

All of our alternative schools and provisions are different, designed to meet the different needs of different young people. However there are some things we have in common. All our schools and education provisions aim to ensure that young people feel loved and cared for, that they are valued and respected, and that they have the support and challenge that they need to reach beyond their potential and enable them to flourish by developing positive behaviours, attitudes and aspirations. All of our schools have a curriculum designed to help young people make progress academically, and also with their social, emotional and/or mental health. All of our staff work for Aspire because they share our vision for truly excellent Alternative Provision, where children are loved and looked after, and are able to achieve great things.

Outreach

Aspire provides a number of early intervention services for children who are still in mainstream schools and who have been identified as being at risk of exclusion. Students can have an outreach programme of mentoring, or assessments from our CAMHS team.
