Here at Hope High School we offer some of our pupils the opportunity to access alternative provision to education. For reasons that are uniquely for the individual pupil, a placement may be sort. We understand that a school environment is not always the right place for all our pupils to learn.  Currently we use a number of different providers, all offering different types of education. Below is a brief description of the providers and the qualifications that are offered.

 

Apple Cast NW

Apple Cast NW is a charity based provider that “offers a safe and secure environment for people of all ages who are interested in fishing and the environment. Cast NW has developed bespoke outdoor activities which include horticulture, conservation, fishing management, fish breeding, aquaponics, agriculture, tailored woodwork shops and animal care.” Taken from the Cast flyer.

At Hope High School, we have found that the majority of pupils that have accessed Cast have become more confident in other areas of their school career. Thus the knock on effect is that they can then access the curriculum delivered in school.

The qualifications that are offered at Cast are:

  • Open Awards -
  • Fishery management level 1 Award/Certificate
  • Horticulture Entry 2-3 Award/Certificate
  • Horticulture Level 1 Award
  • Conservation Level 1 Award/Certificate

UK provider number 10061538

Preston North End Community and Education Trust’s secondary school provision programme is for Year 10 and Year 11 students that may benefit from working in a sporting environment, providing bespoke qualifications.

The programme is designed for hard-to-reach Key Stage 4 students who are disengaged with their school-based studies, lacking in confidence or self-esteem or displaying poor attendance in the standard school environment.

The Trust is now offering a range of courses that help to keep students engaged in their work and maintain their focus, also providing opportunities to learn new skills, too.

Students can choose to study with Preston North End as one of their GCSE options with a two-year course in sport or enterprise available, contributing to their progress eight score.

Under the progress eight programme, pupils will study a combined Level 1 and Level 2 course that contributes in Department for Education tables in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
