Shab Hill at Birdlip
The Shab Hill site is part of MIAG Limited.
The Shab Hill site at Birdlip, Gloucestershire is the very latest in MIAG’s portfolio, this is a relatively small site in comparison and opened in September 2024. The site makes provision for 10 – 16 learners.
Who are our learners?
Our learners are aged 7 – 18 (Year 4 – Year 14) and will have experienced variable educational experiences before they arrive with us. The majority of our learners will have had a range of factors that will have led to placement here at Shab Hill, these may include:
- History of poor/non attendance
- Disaffection with a mainstream education curriculum
- History of persistent disruptive behaviour patterns that have led to several suspensions
- Have been permanently excluded
- Have been electively home-educated and are seeking a return to a more formal education setting
- Have Special Educational Needs and needs are not being met in current provision and/or are awaiting specialist placement
- Hold an Education, Health, Care Plan (EHCP)
What do our Learners experience at Shab Hill?
Our learners will have their education delivered through a bespoke individualised curriculum which takes account of their level of need, their levels of attainment, their interests and ensures that they are able to obtain appropriate qualifications. If the learner has an EHCP then their bespoke programme will ensure that the outcomes in their plan are delivered in line with the provisions identified in the EHCP.
Due to the nature of Alternative Provision we are only able to offer learners provision for up to 15 hours per week. It is the long term ambition of the proprietor to obtain OFSTED registration whereby the provision able to be offered will be full-time alongside a more flexible offer.
