Alternative Provision refers to education that a student receives away from their school, arranged
by local authorities or by the schools themselves.
All Alternative Providers have the same duty as mainstream schools to keep students safe and
comply with education guidance from the DfE.
This AP Directory is a list of providers that are available to Derbyshire school students.
Providers on the directory have offered assurance that they:
·
·
·
·
·
· Comply with Data Protection legislation
·
·
·
The Directory also includes APs that are out of county but within close traveling distance to the
Derbyshire border such as Mansfield, Nottingham, Sheffield, Worksop and Stockport.
Neither the County Council nor its staff are responsible for making recommendations on the
suitability of providers for use by individual schools or whether they will deliver the perceived
benefits. Such evaluations must be made by school management and Governors in accordance
with the School’s financial procedures and legal obligations.
Derbyshire County Council take no responsibility for the monitoring of students at these providers
and it is the responsibility of the referring school to check the relevant compliancy documents and
that working practices are being adhered to.

Alternative Providers have a duty to be registered with the DfE if they educate one EHCP student, or
5 other students, for the majority of their timetable. Full time education is 18 hours or more per week.
Providers must comply with this guidance to ensure that they are educating students legally. All
registered Alternative Providers are subject to Ofsted inspections. Very few are currently registered
schools. If they are found to be acting illegally, the business will be closed.
The School Inspection Handbook September 2018 p74 states that;
“Inspectors…should make every effort to telephone or meet staff in the institutions where pupils are
taught offsite to help assess the school’s quality assurance arrangements. They must evaluate the
rigour with which the school monitors the attendance, behaviour, learning and progress of the pupils
who attend them.”
“Inspectors must visit a sample of the placements during an inspection…and should give priority to
visiting unregistered providers”.
The Directory does not offer any reassurance of the quality of the teaching and learning delivered by
the providers. The responsibility of the quality of the alternative provision used rests with the
commissioner. Please contact the alternative providers directly to discuss commissioning, evidence
of their compliancy and to discuss how you will measure their quality. “Commissioners should
maintain on-going contact with the provider and students and have clear procedures in place to
exchange information, monitor progress and provide pastoral support.” Alternative Provision
Statutory Guidance for Local Authorities, January 2013.
The Directory will be updated with additional Alternative Providers as they are sourced. There will be
regular updates to the Directory. For any further enquiries, or to recommend any further companies,
then please contact me using the email address below. Please also contact me if you have any
concerns about the any of the APs listed in this Directory.
