Understanding Unregistered Alternative Provision

You might be wondering, "What exactly is an unregistered Alternative Provision?" Simply put, it's an educational setting that provides full-time or part-time education to pupils who aren't able to attend mainstream school for various reasons. Unlike some APs, unregistered APs operate independently of direct government control regarding registration. However, this does not mean a compromise in quality or standards, especially for an established and reputable organisation like Intuition Centre.
