Solihull Alternative Provision Multi Academy Trust

Our Packages

Tailored Support for Schools, Local Authorities and Industry

We understand the challenges schools and organisations face in managing behaviour, fostering inclusion, and preventing exclusion or attrition.

Our tiered outreach approach ensures accessible and impactful support for commissioning schools, non-commissioning schools, and businesses seeking expertise in conflict resolution, leadership development, and restorative practices.

Whether you need staff training, student interventions, or strategic consultancy, our structured packages provide tailored solutions to meet your needs.

EDUCATION

At SAPMAT, we believe in proactive and preventative approaches to supporting young people at risk of exclusion. Our outreach services are designed to provide schools and local authorities with the expertise and resources needed to create inclusive, supportive learning environments. Whether through audits and consultation, staff training, direct intervention with students, or providing alternative pathways and enhanced transitions, we are committed to helping schools reduce exclusions and improve outcomes for their students.

Our outreach offer is structured into three tiers to best serve the needs of our partner schools and beyond.
