Alternative Provision Directory Middlesbrough Councils Alternative Provision Directory provides a list of organisations providing educational placements, who have at least met the minimum standards set within the Alternative Education tender specification, and agree to framework contractual obligations, both specification and contract available on request. Alternative Education refers to learning and support offered primarily outside of school that is deemed to be an intervention aimed at helping ‘turn around pupils before they become disengaged with their education’ and will ‘deliver appropriate educational progress’. Types of provision on this framework include:- full time provision, revolving door packages provided for a fixed period of time with the aim of securing access to mainstream provision either through reintegration or transition to a new school, part time provision and preventative programmes aimed at preventing exclusion. The provision is aimed at children and young people:- At risk of exclusion from school; or Excluded from school on a fixed term basis; or At risk of disengaging from mainstream education and/;or Require additional support during a negotiated transfer between mainstream schools;

or Otherwise require alternative education provision to meet their educational entitlement,

for instance in line with an Education, Health and Care Plan or is a Looked After Child with no school place.

School / Academy Statutory Obligations This framework does not remove or affect any of the statutory obligations and duties upon schools /academies in relation to the provision of education or the exclusion of children / young people from school. Any child or young person placed either full or part time in alternative education provision, remains on the roll of that school / academy and responsibility for delivering the full time education and all other duties in respect of that child remain with the school. Specifically the commissioning school / academy remains responsible for monitoring and tracking the progress of individual children / young people and confirming that the provision is of good quality, value for money and meets the needs of the child / young person. The Provider Framework will be subject to a refresh process at 6 monthly intervals to allow new providers to join the framework and widen the range of alternative education provision available. It is expected that this framework will be used by schools academies and specialist providers, including the councils own specialist teams. The Behaviour Partnership manager will, where required, support schools / academies to identify appropriate provision. Referral Process The Referral for Alternative Provison Form must be completed by the purchaser for each individual pupil detailing the purchasers requirements and be sent directly to the Provider by e mail or in writing and to [email protected] On receipt of the order the Provider must, within 2 working days:

Notify the Purchaser and the Council that it declines to accept the order; or

3 | P a g e

That it accepts the order by signing and returning copies of the order from to the Purchaser and the council.

If the Provider notifies the Purchaser that it declines to accept the order, or fails to accept the order within 2 working days then the order from the Purchaser will lapse and the purchaser may offer the order to another service provider. Once a Provider accepts an order it will be bound by the terms of the framework contract.

Apricot Online is one of the UK’s leading providers of live, online education. We teach children aged 8 to 25 part-time who require teaching outside of mainstream schools for short or long periods of time. We work with clients and students to agree a timetable suitable for the student(s). Teachers and students login to our secure learning platform and navigate to their classrooms. All of our students come to us with issues affecting their learning (mental, social, emotional, or physical health issues), learning difficulties (including Autism and Asperger’s), challenging life circumstances, refusal to attend school, and/or excluded or at risk of exclusion). Each student has their own needs. Some may be able to join a small group (10 max), while other may benefit from 1:1 tuition. We provide a re-engagement service of

9 | P a g e

education provision from KS2-KS5, where learners are introduced to highly participatory lessons online. These interactive lessons cultivate relationships quickly, enhance student motivation, and build confidence through a variety of rich-media techniques and AFL. All Apricot teachers have QTS, enhanced DBS clearance, and are checked against Prohibition of Teaching with Employer Access. Our teachers are experienced in addressing complex needs, challenging behaviours, and compensating for gaps in education due to non-attendance at mainstream. When it is not possible for students to be reintegrated into mainstream school, Apricot will prepare them for qualifications in all exam boards. We provide Entry Level, Functional Skills, GCSEs, iGCSEs, and A Levels. Apricot offers 10 subjects at KS3, 21 subjects at GCSE, and 11 subjects at A Level. Beyond core courses, clients often utilise Apricot to broaden and enhance their own academic offering to students. Beyond synchronous online classroom teaching, we offer a myriad of free subscriptions to award-winning interactive software – available 24/7 for students. Apricot’s assessment is in-depth and revealing, not only by subject, but by topic/outcome in each subject. Stakeholders can run reports for attendance, weekly achievement and teacher comments, and half-termly ILPs, Soft Skills and APS graphs, and extended teacher comments. APS is reported (and converted to NC Level, GCSE/A Level grade, Progress 8, etc.) in order to show our students where they’ve made even the slightest amount of progress. They can see every point of progress they make and that needs to be celebrated. Apricot will roll out additional reporting that is compatible with the DfE’s new assessment criteria. Our reporting allows teachers, students, parents/carers, and clients to understand exactly where students are excelling and where they have weaknesses. This information informs teachers’ lesson planning and students’ revision priorities.

One to One Tuition One to one support will be delivered to learners based on the aspects of the Key Stage 4 curriculum they are struggling most with.
