Exciting News: Intuition Centre Expanding Our Support as an Unregistered Alternative Provision
For years, Intuition Centre has proudly served the Stockport and South Manchester communities, providing high-quality private tutoring that has helped countless learners achieve their academic goals. We are excited to announce the next step in our evolution: we are expanding our services to operate as an unregistered Alternative Provision (AP).
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.
The Benefits of Choosing Intuition Centre as Your Unregistered AP
Tailored Learning Experiences
We can offer highly personalised learning programmes designed to meet the unique needs of each student, whether they require more intensive support, a different learning environment, or a curriculum tailored to their specific interests and aspirations.
Small Group Sizes
Our commitment to individual attention means we maintain small group sizes, ensuring every learner receives the focused support they need to thrive.
Flexible and Responsive Approach
As an unregistered AP, we have greater flexibility to adapt our curriculum and delivery methods quickly to best suit the evolving needs of our students and the local educational landscape.
Continued Access to Qualifications
As a registered exams centre for major exam boards like Edexcel and AQA, our learners will continue to have the opportunity to achieve nationally recognised qualifications.
Holistic Support
We believe in nurturing the whole child. Our approach goes beyond academics, focusing on building confidence, developing essential life skills, and promoting well-being.
A Stepping Stone to Success
We aim to equip our learners with the skills and knowledge necessary to successfully reintegrate into mainstream education, progress to further education, or pursue vocational pathways.

Why Intuition Centre is Becoming an Unregistered AP
Our decision to become an unregistered Alternative Provision stems from our deep commitment to supporting a wider range of learners within the Stockport and South Manchester areas. We recognise that some students require a more specialised and flexible educational environment than mainstream schools cannot always offer. By operating as an unregistered AP, we can:
- Reach More Learners in Need: We can provide a vital educational lifeline for students who may be struggling in traditional settings or who require a different approach to learning.
- Offer a More Bespoke Educational Experience: We can design and deliver truly individualised programmes that cater to specific learning styles, paces, and needs.
