Horizon Education Alternative Learning offers a tailored one-to-one approach in delivering short-term education for young people who may struggle to maintain attendance and learning within a school environment. The HEAL programme is a combination of direct home tutoring, supplemented with a personalised curriculum of learning online and through project work, e.g. towards examinations. Most pupils will engage in Horizon’s learning programmes for a time limited period, with a view to returning to school or progressing to college, training or employment at the earliest opportunity. Initial placements of one term/12 weeks or more are preferable, to maximise the potential for success and progression, with pupils better placed to gain the most from their time and expertise. There is no fixed time limit for a placement. Depending upon the level of programme commissioned, HEAL Tutors will deliver English, maths and national curriculum or GCSE subjects in the student’s own home or at another suitable venue. Additionally, after the tutoring sessions, the tutor will set online learning activities for the student to complete, which will support the tutoring, using our e-learning software. We have hundreds of hours of online learning available, all of which are monitored and reported on, by the Tutor. The HEAL programme is suitable for: Children Missing Education Students with ongoing issues causing long-term absence from school Students who need support before returning to formal education Looked after children relocated to Shropshire who are awaiting a suitable education provision Permanently excluded and hard to engage students Students who cannot attend school for medical or other reasons, e.g. teenage pregnancy School refusers, e.g. students with anxiety issues preventing attendance https://www.facebook.com/HorizonCareandEducation/ Costs are available on request as they depend upon the level of provision and number of hours? direct home tuition and learning purchased by the commissioner of the service.
