Ealing Alternative Provision

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 February 2025

Pupils at Ealing Alternative Provision benefit from a wealth of opportunities to learn what they need to be successful. They typically meet the schools' high expectations. Pupils make the most of attending school and are optimistic about their futures. This is because the school gives them the chance to have a fresh start with a personalised curriculum and therapeutic support to help their mental health and well-being. This includes an extensive outdoor space, which is used well to help pupils build confidence as well as life and social skills. Transition, both into and out of the school, is managed effectively. Pupils settle quickly and develop positive relationships with staff and one another. In lessons and around the school, behaviour is calm and orderly. Pupils are supported by expert staff, who maintain a highly positive atmosphere. This helps pupils to flourish and develop a sense of belonging and trust. Pupils rightly regard the school as a safe space. Pupils have many opportunities to learn about themselves and their world. This is supported through workshops in school as well as residentials, visits to museums, banking institutions, careers fairs and universities. This means pupils are well prepared for their next steps, whether this is school, college or training.
