Opportunity overview

The East Manchester Academy (TEMA) is a mainstream secondary school with approximately 1050 pupils, located in Beswick, Manchester. We are committed to inclusion and early intervention to support all learners. The school has identified a need for a dedicated on-site AP to cater for up to 20 pupils who struggle to access mainstream education. We require an experienced, suitably qualified provider to design, deliver, and manage an on-site alternative provision. This will involve: • Providing structured education, pastoral care, and behaviour support for up to 20 pupils aged 11-16. • Operating during standard school hours and term times. • Collaborating with school staff and external agencies as appropriate. The provider must: • Deliver a curriculum aligned with the national curriculum (including English, Maths, and PSHE). This will be delivered by existing TEMA staff as part of their normal timetable. • Support behaviour improvement, attendance, and pupil well-being. • Provide staff trained in trauma-informed approaches and behaviour management. • Offer tailored interventions and reintegration support where appropriate. • Maintain safeguarding, health & safety, and data protection in line with school policies
