On-Site vs Off-Site Alternative Provision
Summary
On-site AP keeps learners within school grounds in dedicated units. Off-site provision offers a complete fresh start in a separate location with specialist staff and environment.
Comparison
| Aspect | On-Site | Off-Site |
|---|---|---|
| Environment | School-based internal unit | Separate specialist setting |
| Fresh Start | Limited - same site | Complete change of scene |
| Reintegration | Easier - already on site | Requires planning |
| Specialism | General support | Specialist staff/resources |
