Helping ESBA Students to Flourish
Welcome to Flourish Alternative Provision, where we redefine what alternative provision can be. We offer a truly unique and innovative approach tailored to meet the diverse needs of students who thrive outside the traditional classroom and school setting.
​
At Flourish we believe in doing things differently. Our bespoke educational and well-being programs are designed to re-engage young people through a dynamic blend of individualised academic support, therapeutic interventions, and practical, hands-on experiences. We prioritize well-being and personal growth, creating a safe, inclusive environment where students are empowered to rediscover their strengths and reignite their passion for learning.
​
Flourish AP is designed to support those students experiencing Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA). We understand the unique challenges faced by these students, who may struggle with heightened anxiety, low confidence, and feelings of overwhelm related to the school environment. Our creative educational and well-being sessions are designed to provide a nurturing, non-judgmental space where students can rebuild their connection to learning and develop essential skills for emotional resilience.
​
What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to breaking the mold. We don’t just offer an alternative; we offer a new vision for education and personal growth—one that embraces creativity, nurtures potential, and adapts to the evolving needs of every learner. With our innovative curriculum, expert teachers and mentors and holistic approach, we provide opportunities for students to excel in a safe, nurturing and calm setting.
​
Our Mission
Our mission is to offer creative, compassionate support that meets students where they are in their journey. For young people experiencing EBSA, traditional educational environments can feel daunting. Through our tailored educational and well-being sessions, we help bridge the gap between the student and their educational experience, promoting a gradual, positive re-engagement with learning. Our approach is about empowering students with the tools and confidence they need to thrive, both academically and personally.
"Flourish is making a meaningful difference for EBSA students, helping them rediscover a sense of joy in learning and equipping them with lifelong skills for their overall emotional well-being."
