The Alternative Curriculum Service

The Alternative Curriculum Service works with employers and young people to provide extended work experience placements. We also provide career advice, mentoring and guidance for pupils who are struggling with a full time timetable. and for those who require an extended placement to underpin the Diploma or ASDAN Awards which requires a practical placement in a workplace environment.
