Q: What is Stace Provision?
A: Stace Provision is a family-run Alternative Provision supporting young people aged 7–Post-16 who may be struggling to engage with mainstream education. We provide a safe, supportive and nurturing environment for young people with SEMH, EBSA and additional needs, helping them rebuild confidence and re-engage with learning.
Q: Does a child need an EHCP to attend Stace Provision?
A: Not necessarily. We work closely with schools, SENDCOs and local authorities to understand a young person’s needs and discuss whether a placement with Stace Provision would be appropriate.
Q: What does a typical day look like?
A: Every learner has an individualised programme. This can include English, Maths and PSHE alongside life skills, emotional wellbeing, mentoring, ASDAN, sports, gaming and activities designed around their interests. We do activities both on site and off site dependent on the learner’s preferences
