In February 2025, the Department for Education (DfE) released new guidance, ‘Arranging Alternative Provision: A Guide for Local Authorities and Schools’.
This guidance outlines the key factors to consider when arranging suitable education for children unable to attend mainstream school due to health issues, exclusions, suspensions, or other exceptional circumstances. It highlights the need for high-quality, safe, and personalised education that supports both academic progress and overall well-being.
As a dedicated provider, we align with the DfE’s recommendations by offering expert tuition for pupils facing these challenges. Our team of qualified tutors delivers tailored support at home, online, and in school, ensuring flexible and effective learning. By creating a stable and nurturing environment, we help each pupil build confidence and reach their full potential.
randstad's alternative provision service:
This comprehensive approach aims to address each pupil's unique learning style, challenges, and goals, facilitating their successful reintegration into mainstream education or post-16 pathways. By providing tailored support and fostering strong relationships, we help build the confidence and resilience pupils need to thrive both academically and personally.
We currently work with over 145 local authorities, including Cambridge, Leeds, Blackpool, East Riding, Peterborough, Lancashire, Leicester, Hillingdon, and Newcastle. Our experience across diverse regions ensures that we can adapt our services to meet local needs, offering bespoke solutions that align with regional strategies for education and well-being.
We are always open to new collaborations with local authorities and schools, working together to provide consistent, impactful support for pupils who need it most.
