Alternative Provision
At Clandon, we believe every child deserves the right support, at the right time, to help them flourish. Alongside our rich in-school offer, we work with a small number of carefully chosen alternative provision partners to create flexible, personalised learning experiences for some pupils.
These opportunities are used thoughtfully and positively to complement children’s learning in school, support wellbeing and confidence, and re-engage pupils with learning in meaningful ways. Our partners offer nurturing, inspiring environments where children can develop skills, resilience and a renewed sense of purpose.
All alternative provision placements are carefully planned, regularly reviewed and overseen by the school to ensure they align with each child’s needs and our curriculum values. We work closely with families and providers so that children remain part of the Clandon community, feeling supported, known and valued as they grow in confidence and readiness for learning.
Nurture Provision
The Ark at Clandon Primary School is our internal nurture provision.
The Ark is a calm, welcoming and nurturing space where children feel safe, valued and understood. We recognise that children sometimes need additional support, reassurance or a quiet place to help them feel settled, confident and ready to learn.
What The Ark Offers
🌱 A calm and safe space for reflection and regulation
🌱 Emotional support through positive relationships
🌱 Small group and individual nurture activities
🌱 Opportunities to build confidence, resilience and independence
🌱 Support with friendships, belonging and wellbeing
Through positive relationships, gentle encouragement and tailored support, we help children develop confidence, resilience, emotional wellbeing and a sense of belonging.
Our aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment where every child can grow, flourish and successfully engage in the wider life of our school community.
Helping children feel safe, confident and ready to learn.
