Alternate Provision for Students

Building confidence, courage & Skills

Enriching lives through Alternative Education Courses

At IB4E, we provide alternative education for children who have fallen out of the traditional system and those with Special Educational Needs (SEN). As a Community Interest Company (CIC), we offer hands-on, collaborative courses designed to help students develop practical skills, gain qualifications, and build confidence.

Our courses, including Sports & Fitness, Hair & Beauty, Construction and Equine Studies, focus on real-world learning experiences that support personal growth. We tailor our approach to each student’s needs, helping them succeed in education and beyond.
