Question

I kindly request information regarding the alternative education providers known to operate within your local authority or those that you commission for educational services.

Specifically, I am seeking the following information:

• A list of all alternative education providers currently known or commissioned to your local authority, including their name, address, postcode, website address and e-mail address.

The definition used for Alternative Provision is:

“Alternative Provision is defined as ‘education arranged by local authorities for pupils who, because of exclusion, illness or other reasons, would not otherwise receive suitable education; education arranged by schools for pupils on a fixed period exclusion; and pupils being directed by schools to off-site provision to improve their behaviour’ (DfE 2016). Schools can use such provision to try to prevent exclusions, or to re-engage pupils in their education. Pupil referral units are themselves a form of alternative provision.”
