Solihull Alternative Provision Multi Academy Trust exists because we have a commitment and passion for providing the best alternative provision to enable the educational futures and improve the life chances for every student who comes to us. We consider that a locally-led and accountable Trust focused on alternative provision provides the best outcomes for learners in danger of “falling through the cracks”. Our mission, across the Trust, is to:

  • Prevent Permanent Exclusion (and/or providing a pathway back from it)
  • Use more targeted intervention and relational teaching and therefore Fewer Fixed Term Exclusions (Suspensions)
  • Enable our students to beat their Baseline and KS2 targets

By doing this we are, most importantly, able to ensure there are No NEETS in our leavers.  Ensuring these positive destinations and outcomes of education, employment and/or training  for the most vulnerable, most disadvantaged  and highest-tariff children in the area is our clear focus and external partnerships, particularly with local employers/business are hugely important to enable us to continue hitting the targets for our students as we expand.

Our Trust is currently comprised of two schools; Solihull Alternative Provision Academy and Daylesford Academy, across three sites and we will be welcoming a third academy and three more sites in 2024.
