For Schools & Local Authorities
Therapeutic alternative provision supporting engagement, attendance, and reintegration
Education-led provision for children and young people experiencing emotional, engagement, or access barriers to learning
Kings Centre of Learning provides therapeutic, education-led alternative provision and supplementary learning for children and young people who are unable to access mainstream education consistently, including those with emotional, behavioural, and complex medical needs.
We work closely with schools and local authorities to support learners experiencing anxiety, emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA), disengagement, disrupted education, or medical needs that impact attendance and access to learning.
Our approach focuses on stabilising engagement, supporting emotional regulation, and delivering personalised education pathways that rebuild confidence and enable meaningful progress, working towards reintegration where appropriate.
