About Our KS1/2 Placement Offer

KS1 & KS2 Provision
At Impact Alternative Learning, our KS1 and KS2 provision is designed to give young learners a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where they can begin to rebuild their confidence, develop key skills, and enjoy learning again.
Our timetable combines core academic learning with enriching, hands-on experiences, ensuring every child has the opportunity to succeed in a way that suits them.
A Balanced & Engaging Curriculum
Each day is carefully structured to provide a balance of:
-
Functional Skills (Maths & English) – delivered in short, engaging sessions to build confidence and foundational knowledge
-
Creative Learning – including Art & Design and Music to encourage expression and imagination
-
Personal Development (PSHE) – helping children understand emotions, relationships, and the world around them
-
Science & Discovery – exploring how things work through practical, accessible learning
We also place a strong emphasis on reading and communication, with activities such as reading circles to support literacy development in a calm, supportive setting.
Learning Through Experience
What makes our KS1/KS2 offer truly unique is our focus on learning beyond the classroom.
Children take part in:
-
Animal Care – building responsibility, empathy, and confidence
-
Food Technology – developing independence and life skills
-
Physical Education (P.E.) – promoting health, teamwork, and discipline
-
Swimming Sessions – supporting physical development and water confidence
-
Forest School – encouraging exploration, resilience, and a connection with nature
-
Nature & Environment Studies – helping children understand and appreciate the world around them
These experiences are designed to support social, emotional, and mental health development, while making learning enjoyable and meaningful.
A Nurturing Environment
Our smaller group sizes and dedicated staff allow us to provide:
-
Individualised support tailored to each child
-
Strong, trusting relationships with staff
-
A calm and structured environment where children feel safe and understood
We recognise that many of our learners may have had difficult experiences in education, and we work hard to ensure they feel valued, supported, and capable of success.
Our New Site – Coming May
We are excited to be expanding our KS1/KS2 provision into our new site launching this May.
Set in the beautiful countryside, the new setting will provide:
-
A dedicated outdoor learning area
-
Direct access to nature-based activities on our doorstep
-
Opportunities for forest learning, exploration, and outdoor play
-
A calm, spacious environment designed to support wellbeing
This new space will allow us to further enhance our offer, giving children the freedom to learn, explore, and grow in a natural, enriching environment.
Our Aim
Our goal is simple:
To help every child rebuild confidence, re-engage with learning, and develop the skills they need for their next steps—both in education and in life.
