More alternative provision? Clause Samples

More alternative provision?. From the ABP and school-level interviews and from the school questionnaire, a strong theme for the future was a need for more, and more varied, alternative provision. ‘The appalling lack of facilities for students with sever behavioural issues means that […] schools are left trading highly volatile students in managed moves […]’ (senior leader) The limited options (in some areas, reportedly, no options) at Key Stage 3 (KS3) was a particularly strong issue: ‘The real problem that we have is a lack of high quality KS3 alternative provision […]’ (senior leader) This view was endorsed by a majority of those who responded to the school questionnaire:  all but two (18 of 20) senior leaders who responded to the questionnaire ‘strongly agreed’ (16) or ‘agreed’ that, ‘our ABP needs (more) good, local KS3 alternative provision’. o The two exceptions both ‘strongly disagreed’ and both were from South ABP The need for a wider range of providers on the existing Framework Agreement was also expressed.

As another example, School 6 had an off-site provision but wanted to be able to offer practical, vocational areas such as Motor Vehicle and Hair and Beauty – but also noted a potential down-side of this idea: ‘on the other hand, you don’t want all the high profile young people in one place’. Interviewees in that school argued that what was needed was alternative provision [we paraphrase here] that does the sort of things done by The Prince’s Trust, such as outdoor and life skills and qualifications; also the sort of support around drugs provided by Compass; and the kind of therapeutic support that state boarding schools offer; plus male mentors for boys who’ve drifted into the drug scene (‘they need a father figure’).
