I love coming to these sessions where I can just talk about stuff. I love listening to podcasts, it is not something I would usually do.
Alternative Provision provides meaningful learning experiences for students who are not thriving in a traditional classroom environment. We also offer opportunities to gain Arts Award qualifications.
Alternative Provision
We work with local schools that identify students, typically Years 8 - 10, who would benefit from an alternative approach to classroom learning. The selected students work in pairs to create different types of audio, customised to their particular learning needs based on our referral process. Ranging from simple recorded conversations and interview practise that build confidence in communication to utilising an array of skills to fully plan and produce podcasts.
Broadcast standard pieces of audio or podcasts are recommended for playout on our network of radio stations, providing exciting on-air opportunities for the voices trained.
Trainees develop confidence, collaboration and communication skills that will help keep them engaged with school and their positive progression in education. We are very experienced in working with students with Learning Disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder and mental health issues such as anxiety, low mood or depression.
Partnering schools include the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership (Writhlington, Norton Hill, Somervale School).
