New Forest Alternative Provision is an independent specialist provider of education in the New Forest for children aged 5 to 12. Our focus is primarily on addressing the educational needs of young people with SEMH. We are part of New Forest Care Education. The school is registered with the DfE to offer up to 20 places for boys and girls from Hampshire and neighbouring authorities.
Breaking the Mould
Education that reaches beyond the conventional classroom route, embracing real-world experiences, creative thinking, and practical learning opportunities
Hands-On Learning
We help young people build the skills and confidence required to successfully transition to, and thrive in, their next educational setting
Our School
New Forest Alternative Provision (NFAP) principally supports young people for whom previous schooling – mainstream, special or alternative provision – has not successfully met their needs.
Our core purpose is to rebuild meaningful engagement with learning and school attendance, restore confidence and help each student develop the knowledge, skills and readiness to participate successfully in a suitable full-time educational programme.
This may be at NFAP, where appropriate and available, or in another school or setting. Individual routes and timescales will vary; no student should be expected to follow an artificial, uniform timetable for reintegration.
