Alternative Provision

Alternative provision provides education outside of mainstream schools for children who need tailored support due to special educational needs, health issues or challenging behaviour. We offer personalised programmes to help students achieve their educational goals and improve their life chances. Our Alternative Provision covers content related to the Fitness/Health/Sport industry, with a specific focus on football for engagement purposes. We use the power of football and the brand of SWFC to re-engage learners in education.

We look to develop learners’ personal, social, and mental health through content which actively targets specific development of these areas, allowing learners to make the developments required to re-integrate into mainstream education, where feasible.
