Fast Progress Tuition (FPT) is a specialist Alternative Provision and Reintegration Centre for anxious children aged 6-16 years who are unable to attend mainstream school due to heightened anxieties. We are also a DfE Registered specialist provision for Post-16. FPT was established in 2019, with its first premises on Canvey opening in September 2020. The centre was designed to cater for children who suffer from heightened anxiety. These children might also have SEND needs which presents as anxiety, amongst other needs that prevents them from accessing mainstream education. 

 

We have three teams at FPT: Our Teaching Team, our Introduction to Learning Team and our Mentor Team, so every student has access to the support THEY need. Our Mentors are trained in-house and have experience of working with some of the most vulnerable children in the local area.  We  work with children who are unable to leave their bedroom, children who struggle to be in social environments and children who find being in a busy school environment difficult due to anxiety or other SEND needs.

 

Our centres are designed to be a safe spaces, which have 'mock classrooms' where children can practise building relationships, and practice being in a learning environment whilst been taught by specialist teachers; if they struggle, our experienced Mentor Team,  are always nearby to guide children away from situations they find overwhelming. Over time, due to desensitisation to social situations and the building of resilience in a controlled environment, our students build confidence and are able to communicate with adults, their peers and are able to access learning.
