A warm welcome to St Helens Alternative Provision Service Welcome to the St Helens Alternative Provision Service website. Our service is made up of two dedicated Pupil Referral Units: PACE, supporting children aged 5 to 11, and Launchpad, which supports young people aged 11 to 16. Together, we provide a high-quality, personalised educational experience for learners who face challenges accessing mainstream schooling due to social, emotional, behavioural, or medical needs. It is a privilege to lead this service as Headteacher. At St Helens Alternative Provision Service, we are passionate about supporting every young person who joins us. Our staff are committed to creating a positive, inclusive environment where learners feel valued, supported, and encouraged to grow. Our vision is clear: To provide a high quality, personalised educational experience that meets learners' needs and leads to success for all. We work tirelessly to ensure that each student's time with us is a stepping stone towards reintegration into mainstream education or a positive next step in their educational journey.
