Stronger Minds, Brighter Futures
At The ACE Academy, we believe every young person deserves a learning environment where they feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive. Our Alternative Provision is designed to offer a fully personalised educational experience that nurtures each student’s academic, emotional, and social development. We understand that no two learners are the same, which is why our approach is flexible, compassionate, and tailored to individual needs.
The ACE Academy Alternative Provision has been established to bridge the gap between education, mentoring and mental health, by placing the emotional health and wellbeing of the young person at the centre of our Targeted Intervention Programmes (TIPs). TIPs focus on developing the skills students need to manage their emotions and behaviours using therapeutic mentoring.
We support young people who:
- Benefit from a nurturing setting to rebuild confidence and motivation.
- Find it challenging to engage with mainstream education.
- Require additional support due to Special Educational Needs (SEN), Autism, ADHD, or behavioural difficulties.
At the ACE Academy, we’re committed to helping every student discover their potential and take meaningful steps toward a brighter future. We specialise in engaging vulnerable students in a 1:1 or small group capacity. We can engage pupils on school site, off site in the community or through a hybrid approach.
We are currently accepting referrals from schools in the Nottingham City, Nottinghamshire and Mansfield areas.
