Types of Alternative Provision

Alternative Provision can take many different forms, depending on the individual needs of the child. It is important the school or Local Authority service commissioning the provision is clear on whether the provision is a registered school with a DfE number, or an unregistered setting as this will have considerations regarding how many hours a pupil can access the provision. In all cases, the provision should be both efficient in its delivery of education and suitable to the child's age, ability, and aptitude; and to any special educational needs they may have.

Please refer to  Hillingdon's AP Guidance 24-25 (PDF) [280KB]  for examples of registered and unregistered Alternative Provisions.
