Fresh Start In Education

What if the key to inclusion is understanding human nature?

Children are wired for movement, connection and safety, but many school environments demand the opposite.

In our latest blog, guest writer Emma Jones explores why rethinking school environments could transform learning, wellbeing and inclusion for every child.

We're delighted to share Episode 2 of the AP Roadshow and we're incredibly proud to be featured!

It was a real privilege to take part and shine a light on the vital role Alternative Provision plays in supporting young people. The highlight, however, was hearing directly from one of our amazing students and her mum, who shared their journey and the life-changing impact AP has had on their lives.

Their story is a powerful reminder of why this work matters and the difference that the right support, at the right time, can make.

We can't wait for you to watch it!

BRAND NEW AP Roadshow - Episode 2 Featuring Fresh Start in Education Welcome to Episode 2 of the AP Roadshow, hosted by Jade Neivens-Bro...

Alternative Provision is often misunderstood. Too many people still associate AP with exclusion or failure, when in reality it is some of the most skilled, relationship-focused work happening in education today.
Behind every successful AP setting are professionals helping young people rebuild trust, confidence, emotional wellbeing and engagement with learning.
It's time to move beyond outdated assumptions and recognise the expertise, care and impact that Alternative Provision delivers every day. Read our latest blog by guest writer Gemma Harvey from We Are Louise.

94%. Across more than 3,000 students.

That's our successful outcomes rate in alternative provision, a sector where outcomes are notoriously hard to measure, let alone achieve at scale.

We don't treat this as a headline number. We treat it as the standard we have to keep meeting, student by student, placement by placement.

Behind it sits the work that rarely gets posted about: the safeguarding calls, matching education specialists to students, the meetings with local authorities and schools, the small adjustments that keep a young person engaged when school hasn't worked for them.

Consistency at this volume isn't luck. It's process, the right people and partnerships with local authorities who trust us to deliver when timelines are tight and stakes are high.

To every client, staff member and parent/carer who's been part of those 3000+ journeys, thank you for trusting us with the work that matters.
