This brochure describes Insight, an alternative education provision for young people aged 8 to 16 in Acton, Suffolk. It is intended for parents, carers and schools exploring a different approach to learning. The document explains how Insight combines creative arts, practical life skills and personalised academic learning in a nurturing environment.
The curriculum section covers art and creative expression, including drawing, painting, sculpture, photography and gardening. English sessions focus on reading, writing and spoken communication, with support for Entry Level, Functional Skills and GCSE qualifications. Maths sessions build skills in number, measurement, shape and data handling, also leading to recognised qualifications.
A dedicated section describes Life skills +, a personal development programme aligned with the PSHE curriculum. Topics include emotional literacy, friendships, healthy choices and staying safe. The brochure explains that all programmes are personalised to meet individual needs.
The document outlines the flexible session structure, with half-day or full-day options between 9:15am and 2:45pm. Each young person has a key person for consistent support. Sensory and regulation spaces are available to help learners feel safe and ready to learn.
A progress and outcomes section explains the four-step approach: understanding the individual, planning for success, supporting engagement, and recognising progress. The referral process is described in three steps: initial enquiry, visiting the provision, and planning a personalised start. Contact details and a website are provided at the end.
