Alternative provision

Alternative provision that’s actually therapeutic.

Commissioned by schools or local authorities for pupils who can’t currently access mainstream — delivered in our Wadebridge studio with the reporting your SENCO needs.

What we offer

Four ways we support young people.

Creative learning

Our creative learning sessions use art, music, sculpture, digital media and hands-on making as a vehicle for learning and self-expression. Sessions are flexible, student-led and designed to rebuild a positive relationship with learning at a pace that works for each child.

Therapeutic support

We offer therapeutic support for young people who are struggling emotionally alongside their learning differences. Our practitioners work in a calm, non-judgemental space, helping children develop resilience, self-regulation and the tools they need to navigate the challenges they face.

Parent support

Navigating the SEND system is complex and often exhausting. We offer practical guidance and emotional support for parents and carers, helping families understand their options, advocate for their child and find a way forward.

Alternative Provision & EOTAS

We provide alternative educational provision for young people who are struggling within traditional school environments. Working with small groups and high staff ratios, we create structured, meaningful provision for neurodivergent students and those experiencing school-related anxiety or burnout.

How We work

Rather than fitting children into a programme, we build support around the individual.

Group Work

Movement-friendly, interest-led sessions for children whose brains move faster than the room around them.
