Alternative Provision

Flexible education and enrichment pathways designed to meet individual learning needs and inspire academic achievement.

What Do We Do?

Our services provide tailored support, to help our young people feel safe, valued, and ready to grow, whatever challenges they’re facing. All staff at JEP Youth Engagement are "DETERMINED to support young people to fulfil their potential".

Occupational Studies

Our Occupational Studies offer, delivered at our fully equipped hub, provides practical, hands-on learning in skills such as Carpentry, Bricklaying, Mechanics and Joinery.

Our learners work towards NCFE Level 1 and 2 qualifications, earning credits and compiling portfolios that showcase their skills. The programme integrates real-world applications, preparing students for future careers. 

Service users can incorporate Occupational Studies into a wider educational placement at JEP or attend solely for this provision if they don’t require broader curriculum support. It’s a flexible pathway designed to meet individual interests, strengths, and goals.

Carers of M, KS4

"I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to JEP and its incredible staff for the outstanding support they have given M. Throughout her time with you, JEP has shown remarkable patience, resilience and unwavering commitment. You never gave up on her, even when the road was not easy, and this had made a tremendous difference in her life."

Family of R, Key Stage 4

Family of L, Key Stage 4

"JEP has been paramount in L being where he is today. We are a million miles aways from the broken and completely disengaged young person he was when he first attended JEP. He now has the basic skills and confidence he needs to help him build a future that he can be proud of, as a family we can't thank JEP enough for all the time, care and attention you have given to our son!"

Family of B, Key Stage 2

"B has loved his time at JEP, he has come home every day in a great mood and is always telling us stories about what he’s been up to."

D, Key Stage 2

"It’s fun at JEP, there are good things to play with. My work is amazing and people help me everyday"

Family of K, Key Stage 4

"K is really enjoying his sessions, it is a huge positive for him. I’ve never seen him engage as well as he does with JEP - They have been absolutely fantastic with him. JEP has gone above and beyond and I am so grateful."

S, Key Stage 3

"I really enjoy my days at JEP and all the staff help me to be the best I can be"

Family of F, Key Stage 4

"JEP were amazing with F. You brought out the best in him and you believed in him, which restored his belief in himself and made him feel like an equal again. You didn’t just help him, you helped the whole family as they thought everybody had given up on him, as the school system dismissed F as a lad with issues instead of giving him the chance to express himself and show who he really was. I could never thank you enough and you should all be so proud of the amazing work you do in helping children feel they are equal and allowing them to blossom and be heard."
