Alternative Provision is the term used for the education provided for young people who for whatever reason cannot attend mainstream or specialist provision. At Hunt Scholars Tuition Limited we specialise in supporting young people whose neurodivergency can be a barrier.

Young people may struggle with their communication, organisation, focus and sensory needs and when these needs are not identified and met they can become very anxious or trapped in fight or flight.

The aim of alternative provision is to provide education and skills while supporting students to be ready for the next steps in their education life or into adulthood. Often students will have multiple provisions working on different goals identified in their individual plans. We can work to highly personalised goals from an EHCP or an individual learner’s plan.

Alternative Provision is commissioned by the young person’s Local Authority or School or sometimes an Inclusion Service. It is not generally commissioned by parents, unless they have an independent personal budget agreed with the local authority.
