Our provision

Our alternative provision

Summit AP offers a structured alternative provision for young people who need a smaller, calmer and more practical learning environment. The provision combines education, functional skills, creative technology, physical education, nutrition, pastoral support and safeguarding led practice.

Support for school age mothers

Limited provision with a staffed children's room.

Summit AP has limited provision for school age mothers, supported by a staffed children's room on site. This allows young mothers to continue their education in a calm, safe and understanding environment while their child is cared for nearby. Places are limited and offered subject to assessment, safeguarding checks and discussion with the referring school or local authority.
