Education Advisor for Virtual Schools - Local Authority 
"Having worked with AP Education as an Alternative Provision for some of our learners, I have always found them to be efficient, professional, and excellent communicators between the school and the young person being supported. AP Education have succeeded in engaging with some of our learners where other provisions have struggled, and I believe that this is a result of them working hard to listen to the needs of the school and the young person, in order to successfully match the right tutors to the specific needs of that child. Thank you AP Education!"

"A***** loves the team at AP Education. He engages really well and seems to have a great time. I can see how his learning is coming along because he’s comfortable with the environment and the way he is being taught. I know as a parent we can talk to the tutors if there are any problems on areas to focus on"
Education Advisor for Virtual Schools - Local Authority 
"So grateful for the support we have received from AP Education, From the initial conversation they truly listen to our needs and work alongside us in a collaborative way. The regular reviews and open communication give us reassurance and we always feel fully informed through the curriculum and attendance reports received. It is clear they are clearly passionate about supporting children and young people succeed and this is at the heart of what they do. The progress we see is not only academic; it is also the steps learners take towards engaging in their learning and building confidence. It makes such a difference knowing our learners are being supported with care and compassion."

SEN Tutor at AP Edcuation
“As a parent, finding the right support for your autistic child is incredibly important, and our experience with AP Education has been extremely positive. Since starting, we have seen a noticeable difference; R is more confident and comfortable engaging with learning. H and N have created an environment where he feels safe, listened to and encouraged.”
Parent of Learner at AP Education
“Throughout our experience of working together, we have found the quality of provision to be consistently high, with a strong focus on meeting the individual needs of each learner. The tutors we have worked with have been knowledgeable, patient and skilled at engaging students who may previously have struggled within more traditional educational environments.”
Mainstream Secondary School

Interim EHCP Co-ordination Manager - Local Authority
“When we took my daughter out of mainstream education, we were uncertain what to do next. From the start, AP Education were kind and understanding, with P arranging everything and pairing us with tutor L. The focus was always on her comfort and wellbeing, with no pressure on academics.”
Parent of Learner at AP Education
“We have worked with AP Education for the last year. They are helpful and efficient and have fulfilled all of our tutoring requirements, despite our very specific needs as a specialist provision. All pupils placed are fully engaged and moving forward in their learning. Communication is excellent, with queries dealt with promptly and efficiently. We would wholeheartedly recommend AP Education.”
Deputy Headteacher - Specialist Provision School
“The tutors use helpful strategies such as timers, visual learning methods, and clear step-by-step guidance, alongside a hands-on approach that has been very beneficial for him. The tutors have built a strong, positive bond with R, helping him feel safe, supported and more confident in his abilities. We are very thankful to AP Education for recognising his needs.”
Parent of Learner at AP Education
“The structure and quality of the provision offered by AP Education has been consistently strong, with teaching that is well planned, child centred, and responsive to individual needs. Children, social workers, and families have highlighted not only academic support but also meaningful opportunities for social interaction, contributing to improved school readiness and confidence in re-engaging with educational settings.”
Behaviour Team Lead - Local Authority
“Since being supported by AP Education, we have seen a very positive change in R. The smaller, calmer environment and 2:1 support has made a significant difference, helping him concentrate more and engage better in subjects such as maths, English and science, with steady progress.”

“AP Education provides a highly structured yet flexible learning environment. Their curriculum is not a "one size fits all" model; Instead, it is meticulously tailored to the specific needs of each learner. The transition into their service is seamless, with clear pathways and learning objectives established from day one, ensuring students feel secure and focused.”
Headteacher - Mainstream Secondary School
“We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity AP Education has given us by supporting our daughter with her project ‘Wonder’. This is a project she has created to support others who have experienced trauma which is specifically designed to help others in similar circumstances and to give others hope. AP Education has been so generous and sponsored the printed material. We are so grateful for their support with this project.”

“Communication with H and N has been excellent. They are responsive, professional and committed to R’s progress and wellbeing, and we have always felt informed and reassured. What stands out most is the genuine care shown, helping R build confidence and feel capable of achieving his potential.”
Parent of Learner at AP Education
“Communication with AP Education is clear, timely and professional, with regular updates and quick responses to any queries or concerns. Safeguarding and professionalism are consistently strong, giving confidence that students are supported in a safe and well-managed environment.”
Mainstream Secondary School

As a school, we have absolute confidence in their ability to manage complex cases, with all staff demonstrating a deep understanding of statutory requirements and a tireless commitment to student welfare.”
Headteacher - Mainstream Secondary School
“They understand the urgency often required in these placements, ensuring that learners do not face unnecessary gaps in their education. What truly sets AP Education apart is their flexibility, adapting tuition times and finding appropriate locations to suit the needs of the child. This student-centred approach has led to consistently positive feedback from students, parents and carers.”
Assistant Headteacher - Mainstream Secondary School
“My son has struggled with the typical school setting since nursery. With support from his school, we tried several alternative provisions, but these did not address the source of his distress. In February ’26, the inclusions team offered one-to-one tuition outside of school. Working with his tutor has greatly improved his confidence; he has settled into a routine and is enjoying learning again. The support from AP Education has been the first positive step in 12 months and has made a huge impact on his wellbeing and education.”
Parent of Learner at AP Education
“Their commitment to high-quality, reliable tuition has made a tangible impact on learners’ engagement and progress. I recommend them without reservation for their professionalism and dedication to alternative provision.”
Assistant Headteacher - Mainstream Secondary School
“My son had been out of education for two years, with his ASD and mental health greatly affected. He wasn’t leaving the house, had lost confidence, and was completely burnt out despite trying part-time and online schooling. AP was suggested as a last hope, and before Christmas R and N came into our lives, putting J’s voice first. Since then, J has become more confident, independent, and self-driven, building relationships, leaving the house more, and asking for help. J is now preparing for college, and we can’t thank AP enough for his journey back into education.”
