The more that you read,
the more things you will know,
the more that you learn,
the more places you'll go. “Education is for improving the
lives of others and for leaving
your community and world better
than you found it.“

Alternative Educational Provision

Local authorities are responsible for arranging suitable full-time education for permanently excluded pupils, and for other pupils who, because of illness or other reasons, would not receive suitable education without such provision. This applies to all children of compulsory school age resident in the local authority area, whether or not they are on the roll of a school, and whatever type of school they attend. Good alternative provision is that which appropriately meets the needs of pupils that require its use and enables them to achieve good educational attainment on par with their mainstream peers.
