Find alternative provisions, using the Alternative Providers Directory List, advice and statutory guidance.
When using alternative providers, the following must be considered:
Whilst there is no legal definition of full-time education, an alternative provider is considered to be offering full-time education if it is intended to provide, or does provide, all, or substantially all, of a pupil's education.
Generally, any alternative provision offering more than 18 hours per week is likely to be providing full-time education.
For further information on national standards for good alternative provision, visit Alternative Provision – Statutory Guidance for local authorities on the GOV.UK website.
