What Alternative Learning Provision is and who it's for.

Alternative Learning Provision (ALP) is usually a short to medium term placement for children who are struggling to access mainstream education full-time.

Placements are commissioned by the on roll school to:

  • make up part of the child's timetable
  • work on a specific area of challenge
  • support children back into their school full-time
  • support children in their transition to a new setting
