The conversation about Alternative Provision (AP) is sharpening. Policy and sector reviews increasingly ask AP providers to show clear, measurable impact, not only on behaviour and attendance, but on reintegration and academic progress.
For many students, AP must be more than a safe space: it must be a route back to learning, qualifications and positive next steps. That requires, meaningful, subject-level progress and indicators of social and emotional development.
TLC LIVE Online Tutoring provides targeted, curriculum-aligned support taught by qualified and experienced teachers to help students in Alternative Provision close learning gaps and build confidence. Our approach is pragmatic: lessons are adapted to individual needs, outcomes are tracked at session level, and both student and tutor provide feedback at the end of every session so progress, academic and personal can be monitored over time. With TLC LIVE Online Tutoring, students can experience the benefits of our support without schools being tied to long-term contracts. Our priority is ensuring every student gets the most out of their education, which is why we keep things flexible.
Separately, schools can monitor attainment, engagement and attendance within their TLC LIVE account, helping build the case for reintegration or next steps with clear evidence. Quality and accountability must be built into everyday practice: measurable targets and regular monitoring of attendance, behaviour, and attention to social and emotional development. When those things are in place, AP can do what it should – we’re here to help every student get back on track and move forward with confidence.
