Welcome from the Principal:

Thank you for taking an interest in this teaching post at Outwood Alternative Provision Eston.

Outwood Alternative Provision Eston is an innovative alternative provision centre, principally for students from Outwood Academies in the Tees Valley who need additional behavioural, social, emotional or mental health support. In line with our absolute commitment to inclusion in its widest sense, this is an alternative provision for vulnerable students who display challenging behaviours and are often at risk of high levels of fixed-period exclusions or permanent exclusion.

Operating much smaller classes than our mainstream academies, this KS3/4 alternative provision focuses on personal development and the health and well being of students, whilst not losing academic rigour. We will focus on ensuring that all students can achieve well and are able to move to their next stage with confidence, be it education, employment or training.

We are an inclusive, and caring centre judged ‘good’ by Ofsted. At heart, we aim to ensure we best meet the needs of our students. Our centre supports the most vulnerable students including those who have SEND and are disadvantaged. Many of our students experience significant barriers to learning and some have adverse childhood experiences.

If you have any questions or would like to visit the school, please contact Faye Stephenson on [e-mail] or on 01642 056440.
