For Parents & Carers

We understand that every child is unique. Our bespoke support provides high-quality education for children who are not currently in full-time school. We deliver tutoring in settings that work for your family — at home, online, in the community, or on school premises.

Supporting Your Child’s Journey

We provide alternative provision for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. We work in homes, online, and community settings, creating safe, supportive environments where your child can learn and grow at a pace that suits them. Your child’s SEND is part of who they are. Our role is to adapt the approach and environment so they can thrive.
