EOTIS and Alternative Provision
Specialist Provision
Phoenix ND Education are specialists in alternative provision for pupils with additional needs or those who are unable to attend a school environment.
We work closely with all stakeholders to develop a bespoke curriculum plan that fits with the child's learning style and needs.
Phoenix associates are matched to the child and then introduced to them at their pace and in a place they feel safe.
Whilst we believe that learning is invaluable, it is the relationship between tutor and child that enables this to happen. All Phoenix associates prioritise establishing a trusting relationship at the beginning of their work with their family.
Our students
We provide education to students at each stage of their school years.
Our associates are trained to deliver education to:
- Primary (Key Stages 1 and 2)
- Secondary (Key Stages 3 and 4)
- Post-16 (Key Stage 5)
- Post 18 where an EHCP is in place
Our teachers and Learning Support Assistants deliver sessions on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis depending upon provision outlined in the EHCP. This can be delivered in-person or online.
We offer a range of National Curriculum subjects, vocational qualifications, Functional Skills, Life-Skills, and Forest Schools, alongside other programmes for pupils who need a more tailored approach.
Supporting parents and carers
We understand that parenting a child with SEN can be both daunting and confusing. EHCP's are often difficult to understand, implement and review as parents receive little to no advice on this.
Our EOTIS managers and EHCP advisors works closely with parents and carers to help them access the knowledge and resources they need to support their child’s learning journey. We offer advise on assessment of needs, understanding SEN within school, funding options and how to access support services.
Our team has extensive experience requesting, writing and reviewing Education, Health & Care Plans (EHCP), working with schools and Local Authorities to ensure delivery of special educational, health and social care needs.
If you would like our help, please complete our Client Request Form below and we will be in touch to discuss your next steps.

For professionals we offer help with curriculum management and EHCP implementation and reporting.

Group Learning Space
Key Stage 3 and 4 pupils have access to a work area where they can sit as a small group or on an individual basis. We deliver work set by the commissioning school or as planned by our on-site staff.
1:1 space and dining space
Pupils can move away from the group to work directly with staff or independently. Whilst we have a set time for lunch, snacks and drinks are accessible for regulation throughout the day.
Chill-out space
A dedicated space for pupils to engage in opportunities to relax, socialise and explore friendships with their peers
