Alternative Provision

At the White Hall Outdoor Education Centre, we place the wellbeing and development of young people at the forefront of everything we do. Our Alternative Provision programmes offer a unique approach to education, focusing on holistic development in an outdoor setting.

 

Why Choose Alternative Provision at White Hall?

 

  • Holistic Development: We believe in nurturing the whole child, focusing not only on academic progress but also on social, emotional, and personal growth.
  • Improving Outcomes: Our Alternative Provision programmes have been shown to improve behaviour, confidence, resilience, school attendance, social skills, and interactions among young people.
  • Positive Relationships: With smaller staffing ratios of 2 to 1 or 1 to 1, we foster strong and supportive relationships between young people and adults, which are often challenging to achieve in larger group sizes.
  • Preventing Breakdowns: By addressing the root causes of difficulties in mainstream education, our programmes help prevent breakdowns at school or at home that could lead to exclusion or moving into residential care.
  • Respite Care: We offer a supportive environment for young people who struggle in mainstream education due to various factors, providing them with much-needed respite and an opportunity to thrive.
  • Outdoor Learning Benefits: Accessing the outdoors and green spaces has clear benefits for the mental health of young people. Our outdoor education programmes offer a refreshing alternative to traditional classroom settings.
