Alternative Education Provision Flexible Framework

The purpose of this Flexible Framework Agreement (FFA) is to create a list of Providers who can offer alternative education placements to Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2), Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6) Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9) and Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11) pupils who have been excluded from school or at risk of exclusion, at risk of disengaging from mainstream school provision or otherwise require alternative education provision to meet their educational entitlement. The provision is for those pupils who need a more individualised personal, social and academic curriculum. The specification for the service is set out in Schedule 1c.

The Council is creating this FFA without restrictions to the number of Providers who can join, only that they meet all the requirements of the application process and Service Specification.

This Flexible Framework Agreement (FFA) opportunity will be available to South Tyneside Council and to all the primary and secondary schools, academies and places of education based within the South Tyneside Council boundary area (known as “Participating Organisations”), a list of which can be found: https://southtyneside.gov.uk/article/1098/Find-a-school-and-school-holiday-dates
