Reintegration
Building the bridge back
Alternative Provision shouldn't become another place to get stuck. That's why we think about what comes next, right from the start.
Reintegration is a process
It might begin with
- Meeting a trusted member of school staff
- Visiting the school when the building is quiet
- Accessing one activity or lesson
- Working alongside the young person in a safe space
- Gradually increasing attendance
- Transferring successful regulation and learning strategies
The aim is to help the young person feel they can belong again
Reconnect with education, successfully move forward
What's next for the young person?
- Returning to their existing school
- Transitioning into a new school
- Increasing successful access to school
- Moving into college or post-16 education
- Progressing towards greater independence
- Exploring new opportunities
Every route forward looks a little different.
We build the bridge together
The destination stays in sight, the route belongs to the young person and we accompany them every step of the way.
Working together
If reintegration is the goal, we work collaboratively with the young person, their family and school.
Understanding barriers
Together we explore what made education difficult, what's different now, and what would help.
School relationships
We share successful strategies, support transitions, and build relationships with school staff.
Review and adapt
As attendance increases, we review progress together and adapt the plan when needed.
