If you would like your child to attend The Alternative School, please contact the relevant school by calling 01282 851800. The headteacher will be able to answer any queries you may have regarding, and give you all the information you need in regards to referring your child to us.

Our education programmes can cater for approx 50 pupils at each of our schools, and is designed for pupils age 4 – 18 who require a smaller, nurturing and individual approach to education.

Our open school admissions policy offers any young person who requires some additional support the opportunity of a fresh start and access to personalised education.


If we are over-subscribed at your chosen school, we will endeavour to secure you a place at another location until a space becomes available.
