For Parents & Carers

What does Achievio look like for your child?

We know that choosing Alternative Provision for your child is a big decision. Here's what you can expect — written plainly, without jargon.

A Day With Us

Arrival. Learners arrive at an agreed time. They are met by their key worker and welcomed into the room with a clear, calm routine. We avoid the rushed, unpredictable feeling that school corridors can create.

Morning sessions. The morning typically focuses on core academic work — English, Maths, or a subject linked to EHCP outcomes. Sessions are short, structured, and adjusted based on how the learner is feeling that day.

Break and lunch. Learners have regular breaks and a lunch period. We can accommodate dietary requirements with advance notice. Outdoor space is available at both sites.

Afternoon sessions. Afternoons often include more creative or project-based learning, PSHE, life skills, or outdoor activities — depending on the learner's programme and the room.

End of day. Learners are collected or depart at an agreed time. Key workers send a brief update to families for new placements.

What Other Parents Say

"Excellent team. They listened to what my child needed and offered tailored support for him. I can not recommend this team enough."

Kelly Louise

Parent

"My son goes to the Science club, he was very anxious to go and wanted us to stay with him for the whole session. Caroline was very welcoming and within 20 minutes he was ready for us to leave. 4 weeks in and he loves it! I would highly recommend."

Neil Lock

Parent

"Alfie has been seeing Caroline since the beginning of September for help with Maths in the lead up to GCSEs. I have been extremely impressed — Caroline emails me at the end of every session and gives me a full report on how he's doing. It is already having an impact in his Maths which is amazing! He is very happy to go each week and has said himself how much it is helping!"

Becky Werritt
