DfE Registered Alternative Education Provision Flexible Purchasing System (FPS

The aim of the project is to create a Flexible Purchasing System (FPS) and identify Providers who can deliver excellent alternative provision for the education of pupils at key stage 3, 4 and 5 by offering a flexible response to those not placed in a mainstream or special school.

Registered schools within the Liverpool City Region may apply at any time, the Applications they submit will only be assessed and added to the FPS at 3 periods during each academic year.

The objectives of provision are:

• To work towards successful transition to post-16 education, employment, or training

• Provide a tailored education programme for each young person and personal guidance and support

• Offer pupils the opportunity for formal accreditation in several subject areas
