Alternative provision in the local area
Alternative provision is education arranged by a school or a local authority for children who, because of exclusion, illness or other reasons, would not otherwise receive suitable education. The alternative provision list has been developed to provide free and impartial information to you about alternative provision within the local and surrounding area and offered online.
Gateshead Council are not responsible for quality assuring the alternative providers in this list unless we directly commission them to support our children. Schools are responsible for quality assuring any provision that they place their pupils into.

If you would like to be part of our alternative provision register please complete our alternate provision registration form. You can use this form to inform us of any changes to a provision on the register.
It is your responsibility to inform us of any changes to provision if you are added to the register outside of the yearly update we will request.
