WELCOME
Beacon provides personalised alternative education for young people (Year 3 to Year 11) who have struggled to engage with mainstream schooling. We offer academic learning alongside life skills and preparation for adulthood in a small, supportive setting, with an individual and relationship-led approach, by experienced SEN qualified teachers, that supports re-engagement, confidence, and progress.
Beacon Alternative School CIC is committed to safeguarding and operates in line with statutory guidance.
We are based in Exeter and are an approved provider for Devon County Council.
What We Do
We provide personalised alternative provision that supports the whole young person.
Our offer includes Re-ignite, a re-engagement programme focused on rebuilding confidence, emotional regulation, and readiness to learn, alongside academic tuition and life skills learning.
Delivered in small settings with consistent adult support, our approach recognises that meaningful progress comes from addressing individual needs as well as academic learning, and from preparing young people for life beyond school.
Timetables are personalised and may be part-time or phased, depending on need.

Results:
We have seen huge progress in our students' academic and emotional achievements. They started with a history of non-attendance at school, traumatised by their experiences, sensory overload and feeling of failure. They now have improved attendance and engagement with us, enjoy their learning time, which is filled with enthusiasm and laughter, and they have developed resilience. They are already proud of what they have achieved and the progress they are making.
