Welcome to the Alternative Education Centre

WHO WE ARE

The AEC is a team of experienced practitioners offering an alternative education curriculum built around practical skills such as carpentry, mechanics, metalwork, bricklaying, and more. Alongside this we focus on improving behaviour, building self-esteem, and supporting social and emotional growth.

We work with young people who need a different approach to education, helping them gain employability skills and AQA vocational units while developing self-awareness, confidence, and responsibility.

WE CAN HELP YOUNG PEOPLE WHO:

• Struggle with mainstream education

• Need to develop practical and employability skills

• Want to learn a trade

• Have learning difficulties or disabilities

• Require a personalised work development program

• Lack social skills, emotional literacy, and self-esteem

• May be vulnerable or socially disadvantaged

• Come from families facing barriers to education and employment
