St Helens Alternative Provision Service

Deep breath in, deep breath out. No matter how busy or overwhelming life feels, we can choose to slow down, notice and make the most of life's precious everyday moments. Join us #MindfulMarch actionforhappiness.org/mindful-march

At St Helens Alternative Provision Service, we provide a safe and inclusive school where barriers are broken, confidence grows and futures are built. This vision is brought to life through four clear values that guide our daily work with children, families and each other.

It’s been an action-packed week across our schools, from baking in enrichment and exploring plants in science, to building number arrays and investigating sound with cups and string. When pupils are engaged and supported, learning is hands-on, curious and full of energy.

February half term is packed with activities across St Helens Family Hubs 🎉 Take a look at their offer!

Reminder: School closes tomorrow for the Christmas break and will reopen to children on Tuesday 6th January 2026
