Description

Wigan Council Education Services are seeking expressions of interest from Alternative Provision providers or education settings who are able to establish Alternative provision for Wigan Pupils. This provision would be to support the councils Excellence in Education Strategy and SEND priority plan ensuring an education system that is inclusive of all pupils. Alternative provision would provide complementary support to secondary age pupils, this would enhance the curriculum offer in their school/setting or offer an alternative to school for pupils who are permanently excluded from their setting and in need of a registered AP provider to support their reintegration into a suitable setting. Any provider expressing interest would need to be compliant with national statutory guidance for AP, safeguarding and other guidance relating to education settings. For those providers expressing an interest in supporting permanently excluded pupils there would be a requirement to be OFSTED registered to allow pupils to go on the 'school roll'.
