The Alternative School (known as TAS to most young 

people) was set up in May 2007 to offer a new and 

exciting alternative KS4 curriculum for all those young 

people who are not engaging with main stream 

education. 

This may be due to a number of different reasons, but 

whatever the reason we will offer every young person 

that we work with the chance to start again and feel 

included in an innovative and interesting education 

programme where we aim to not only build self esteem and confidence but, 

actively work to improve reading, writing, understanding, Numeracy and

Imagine being a young person that just can`t cope with main stream school 

for whatever reason

And now imagine… 

An alternative to main stream school where you can still obtain 

qualifications but without all the daily obstacles that seem to make your 

school life difficult….  

A school that has time to spend with you and get to know you as an 

individual 

Lessons designed around you, that you enjoy and that fit your individual 

preferred style of learning 

Lessons that are fun and at your own pace    

One to One time with a tutor who can help you with whatever you may 

be struggling with 

A school that you look forward to attending every single day and can 

help you achieve that 100% attendance 

A place where you are listened to no matter what you say 

Somewhere that lots of different abilities come together instead of lots 

of labels    

A school where you always feel included and where you wont get 

excluded for having a bad day 

Tutors that understand where you are coming from 

A place that is warm and friendly where you feel comfortable an able to 

turn up no matter what may have happened the night / day before 

Somewhere you can go and feel valued and respected 

A choice of lessons and activities, so that you can choose the lessons 

that you enjoy and do well in 

A school without a uniform that doesn`t  judge you on how you dress 

An education system that understands we all have good days and bad 

days, and sometimes you just need that bit of extra space and support  

A new start everyday.. with all yesterday`s issues left behind 

Imagine… if this existed.
