Alternative Provision of Education

Curriculum Support & Early Intervention to avoid exclusion

 For students who need curriculum support, early intervention to avoid exclusion or schooling on exclusion, we offer an Alternative Provision of Education (APE) to support their educational and social development 

 

​Nuneaton & Bedworth Leisure Trust (NBLT) is a not-for-profit organisation and registered charity that aspires to improve people’s quality of life, health, and well-being through leisure, fitness, and activities that are accessible to all.

Our Services

Our Alternative Provision of Education offers curriculum support and early intervention to avoid exclusion and is successful because it recognises and works as a partnership between the educational authority, school, student, parent, and us. We are accredited with Warwickshire County Council.

With considerable experience working with young people, we understand that more and more children struggle in mainstream school and feelings of loneliness, confusion, and frustration often manifest as anger and other forms of unacceptable behaviour locking the students in a never-ending cycle that can often lead to permanent exclusion.

We work with the schools to offer a flexible approach to suit the student's needs from the students attending mornings, afternoons, or full days.

We own Empire Gym and Studios (a 2-minute walk from classrooms) so students can attend the gym as part of the provision and complete tasks from the Sports and Fitness Short course booklet.

 

Our Objectives

Our objectives under the Alternative Provision of Education (APE) is to support the development of the individual excluded student, by:

• Treating the cause, not the symptoms
• Improve behaviour, attendance, and attitude to learning
• Identify positive destinations
• Reintegrate into school educational progress and attainment
• Support the family of each child

We offer an initial assessment with the partners to ensure that all aspects of the student’s life are examined to enable a holistic approach to be developed. Following this, a dedicated key worker will work intensively with the student on all related and identified issues creating a range of support. Most importantly we will agree on a contract outlining the expectations, detailing the support provided and the consequences that both the student and key worker will sign.

​Support will be personalised and delivered on a one-to-one basis but can be adapted to work with groups of students if required by the school or student. We can work within the school/ academy/college or off-site at one of our dedicated learning centres.
