The Alternative Centre of Education is performing well, maintaining a 'Good' rating across all inspected areas. The school effectively supports pupils who arrive with challenging backgrounds, helping them improve their behaviour and social skills. Through strong relationships between staff and students, along with high expectations, pupils are prepared for future opportunities, whether returning to mainstream schools or moving on to further education. However, some students struggle with foundational reading and writing skills and do not receive adequate support to overcome these challenges, which affects their ability to access the curriculum fully.
