- The Inspired Directions School offers alternative provisions for high-needs learners struggling to access mainstream education. Established by the charity Inspire, an Education Business Partnership, we have been an Alternative Provider for young people in Hackney since 2008 and achieved independent school status in 2014. Fundamental to our ethos are the values of individuality, collectivism, and progression. The Inspired Directions School has an agreed admission number of 30 students, aged from 13-16 years old. Referrals to the Inspired Directions School are made predominantly through schools, local authorities, and Pupil Referral Units. If we and the referring body are satisfied that we can adequately meet the needs of the young person, they will be admitted to the school. Referrals are accepted at any point during the academic year if we have places available. The personality, interests, and needs of each young person are at the core of our approach. We are committed to the ongoing and future progress of all our learners and have developed a broad and flexible curriculum that enables us to meet a great range of learning needs in developing a personalized timetable for each of our learners. As members of a small and supportive community, young people are provided with a place of safety and belonging where they can build positive relationships with peers and adults, regain educational and personal confidence, and achieve along their chosen pathways. We ensure that all our graduates have a meaningful destination to move on to. We will continue to support our graduates through transition, and offer opportunities for ongoing engagement with the Inspire! community through our enrichment activities. The IDS intake is predominantly vulnerable learners with multi-agency involvement and highly complex educational needs. These include learners who have been excluded from mainstream school or other PRU provisions, statemented pupils, and school refusers. Our individualized and pupil-focused approach sits well within the new SEN code of practice, which requires young people to be placed at the center of the planning process. We work closely with schools, parent agencies, and professionals to ensure that we meet the needs described in existing SEN statements, new EHC plans, and those identified through our initial assessment process.
