About Us
Poles APart AP is an alternative provision with a difference and we are proud to be working with young people across Devon and Cornwall. We work with young people from year 1 to year 13. Reintegration is a big part of what we do with great success in working with students and schools, assisting both parties to achieve the best outcomes.
Poles APart AP delivers a range of engaging, modern programmes and sessions. We provide core subjects, outdoor learning (including forest school), history, geography, catering, beauty, construction, art and music, and we can adapt to facilitate most people’s dreams and needs. We also provide therapy and we encourage work placements and reintegration.
With bases in Plymouth, Exeter, Tiverton and Bodmin, we have access to a broad range of outdoor environments. Learning opportunities are abundant and being active and outdoors is a major part of what we do. We also offer a range of indoor options, and we guarantee that we will find subjects or activities that inspire.
Our Approach is to Re-set, Reengage, Reflect
Our staff are selected for their specialist skills and their ability to inspire and engage with a range of young people. We group our students according to several factors and each student will have their own goals and bespoke timetables. Our flexible but focused approach to teaching and learning helps our young people to engage, develop strategies and explore long-term goals. We focus on life skills and career pathways during Key Stage 4 and support the interests and goals of our young people. We are already seeing our young people flourish within their post-16 placements
