Horizons Alternative Provision Academy works with schools and local authorities across Reading and Bracknell to provide different ways for children and young people to learn, make progress and achieve.

Through our five purposeful pathways and wider range of packages and courses, we offer short-stay and permanent placements, outreach and in-school support, tutoring, vocational learning, targeted workshops and specialist support. We also work directly with schools through staff CPD and support for the development of in-house alternative provision.

At the heart of everything we offer is learning worth turning up for: learning young people connect with because they can see it is relevant to their lives, interests and future. It helps them build knowledge, skills and confidence, make progress and open up real-world opportunities.

Across Horizons, National Curriculum and vocational learning sit alongside a rich personal development and enrichment programme, giving young people different ways to learn, achieve, see their progress and feel good about themselves.

Our expert staff combine high expectations and high challenge with the support each young person needs to achieve their best, with specialist therapies available as needed.
