Alternative Provision

Working with young people who need nurture, structure, understanding and support

“Making Momentum has made a huge difference to our pupils. The team has helped them enjoy their learning journey and reach the finishing line with a smile of success on their faces. Without their support our vulnerable pupils may well have left school without any formal qualifications. Instead, they were able to continue to successfully engage with education here and at Making Momentum.”
