Alternative Provsion

Alternative Provision

Flexible, specialist tuition for learners who need education delivered differently.

Tailored Support for Learners Outside Mainstream Settings

Some children and young people cannot access school for a period of time, whether due to SEND needs, SEMH challenges, medical reasons, exclusion, or complex circumstances. Inspired Tutoring provides high‑quality, personalised Alternative Provision that keeps learners engaged, progressing, and connected to education in a way that works for them.

We work closely with schools, local authorities, Virtual Schools, and families to deliver safe, structured, and meaningful learning in the most appropriate environment.

Our Alternative Provision Offer Examples

Online Tutoring

A flexible, accessible option for learners who thrive with virtual support. Our online tuition is delivered by tutors experienced in engaging reluctant or anxious learners through digital platforms. Sessions are structured, interactive, and tailored to each pupil’s pace and needs. This option is ideal for learners who:

  • Experience anxiety around face‑to‑face sessions.
  • Require short‑term remote support.
  • Need continuity while awaiting a new placement.
  • Benefit from a calm, controlled online environment.

Safeguarding remains central, with clear protocols, attendance tracking, and regular reporting.

Home Tutoring

Safe, personalised, 1:1 tuition delivered in the learner’s home. Before any home tuition begins, we complete a full home visit and risk assessment to ensure the environment is suitable and safe. Our tutors build strong, trusting relationships that help learners re‑engage with education at their own pace. Home tutoring works well for pupils who:

  • Are unable to attend school due to medical or SEND needs.
  • Require a quieter, more predictable learning space.
  • Benefit from relational, trauma‑informed support.
  • Need a stepping stone before returning to a school setting

Every session is planned around the learner’s goals, interests, and preferred way of working.

Separate‑Setting Tutoring

Tuition delivered in community spaces or alternative venues. For some learners, a neutral environment away from home and school provides the best chance to focus and progress. We work with safe, approved community locations to deliver structured sessions that feel calm, consistent, and supportive. This option is ideal for learners who:

  • Need a clear boundary between home and learning.
  • Benefit from a quiet, distraction-free space.
  • Are preparing for reintegration into a new setting
  • Require a bespoke environment tailored to their needs

Tutors receive ongoing support from a dedicated Coordinator to ensure the placement remains safe, effective, and aligned with the learner’s plan.
