“The Alternative Learning Hub has been our saving grace this year. I didn't think he would ever be able to learn again, let alone take GCSE/IGCSE. He has worked so hard and been supported so much by Chetana and the team that he's even recognising himself how far he's come.”
When school stops working, what comes next?
If your young person is struggling with school, feeling overwhelmed, losing confidence or simply needs a different way to learn, you don't have to work out the next step alone.
Alternative provision, rather than a school, for neurodivergent young people who are home educated or currently out of school because of unmet needs, anxiety or difficulties attending school.
Sometimes, the approach
needs to change.
When traditional education isn't working for your teen, finding another way forward can feel overwhelming.
At ALH, we start by understanding the young person in front of us. Then we work with them to find an approach that feels possible, supportive and purposeful.
Different young people.
Different reasons for needing a
different way forward.
ALH supports secondary-age young people who may not be thriving in traditional education, including neurodivergent learners, young people experiencing school refusal, and those who need a more flexible route towards their education and qualifications.
School isn't
working
Traditional education may no longer feel like the right environment for your teen to engage, learn or feel confident.
School
Refusal
Your teen may be struggling to attend or engage with school and needs another way to keep learning.
Neurodivergent
Learners
Your teen may need an educational approach that better reflects how they learn and what helps them engage.
A Different
Route
Your teen may need flexible support while working towards their learning goals or IGCSEs at their own pace.
Whatever brings you here, you don't have to figure
out the next step alone.
FIND YOUR PATHWAY
There's more than one way forward.
Every young person is different. That's why ALH offers different ways to support your teen, depending on what they need right now.
Launchpad
A calm, low-demand online programme for teens who need to rebuild confidence, find their rhythm and rediscover that learning can feel possible again.
Launchpad ↗
IGCSE
Preparation
Focused academic support for young people working towards their IGCSE qualifications, with a flexible approach that recognises every learner is different.
Individual
Support
One-to-one English and maths support built around your young person's needs, whether they need extra help alongside other learning or a more individual approach.
Support ↗
Education built around the young person, not the system.
When school stops working, families need more than another programme. They need someone who understands what it feels like when the usual route no longer works.
ALH brings together lived experience, professional experience and a genuine belief that young people can find their way back to learning.
You don't have to take our
word for it.
Real experiences from parents whose young people have found a different way forward with ALH.
“A wonderful, supportive, intuitive tutor. She can tailor her approach to suit any additional needs and is encouraging and adaptable. Chetana guided my son from an unhappy and reluctant English student to a grade 9 student in only a few months.”
“My daughter loved how Chetana was able to understand her and adapt the way she taught the small group classes, and helped her understand the way she learnt. We studied Environmental Management, English, Business Studies and Travel and Tourism.”
“He really has blossomed in your care. He has learned loads and is talking about joining a public speaking group, which he'd never have considered before, having had no confidence in his writing skills.”
“Thank you for all your incredible, kind, insightful, skilled and supportive help. You offer something unique and invaluable for neurodivergent kids.”
“What you have achieved and done for our son on his educational roller coaster has been phenomenal. He continues his IGCSE studies and prepares for further education. A thing we never once thought would be possible!”
A simple first step towards finding
what works.
