Achieving for Children (AfC) has been providing Childrens' Services for The Royal Borough of Windsor and
Maidenhead (RBWM) since August 2017. AfC is now seek to strengthen and improve outcomes for vulnerable
children and young people through finding a suitable provider to manage the Alternative Provision in its entirety,
with AfC retaining management oversight and scrutiny. The aim will be to narrow the achievement gap for those
young people who are at risk of not achieving as a result of being permanently excluded from school or unable
to attend school as a result of significant medical needs. The provider will enable a swift and well-managed
response to provide our most vulnerable children and young people with a meaningful and positive education
experience. High quality alternative provision aims to keep young people in learning and achieving, so that they
can make a positive contribution to society.
The main objective of the new service will be to provide full-time equivalent education for, all permanently
excluded pupils living in RBWM from the sixth day and short-term interventions for pupils living in RBWM who
are unable to attend mainstream school as a result of a significant medical condition (with appropriate medical
evidence).
RBWM wishes to further improve the quality assurance and monitoring arrangements for the provision of
alternative education, provide a suitable platform to ensure value for money,reduce the current reactive
approach, by ensuring a proactive, timely and appropriate education placement is available to all pupils who are
permanently excluded or unable to attend school for medical needs.
