EXCITING NEWS!
WE NOW HAVE OUR OWN SPACE!

After months of searching, planning and waiting, Beacon finally has a permanent place to call home at Unit 6, Kew Court, Pynes Hill, Exeter, EX2 5AZ.

We are busy moving in and preparing everything for the start of term on 7 September 2026. The kitchen may not be completely finished, but the space will be calm, welcoming and ready for our pupils to begin making it their own.

 

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our plans and helped us get here!

Testimonials

​​

The support provided by Steve and Fiona has been exceptional. They are highly professional, experienced, and skilled teachers who demonstrate a deep understanding of the needs of young people who are unable to access mainstream education. Their ability to build positive relationships, engage learners, and provide bespoke support has been outstanding.

I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Beacon Alternative Provision to other schools, local authorities, or organisations seeking high-quality alternative educational provision. The difference they make to the lives of vulnerable young people is truly invaluable.
