My daughter has attended the alternative provision for only 2 days and I've seen such a huge improvement she's wanted to get up and go with no prompting, she absolutely loves it and is wanting to try the techniques she's learnt on others at home. First time I've seen her smile like this in a long time amazing ☺️
Alternative education provision
Learning that meets people where they are.
Our vocational and blended pathways give learners a practical way to reconnect with learning and think about what comes next.
We work with learners with SEND, pupils at risk of exclusion and young people who need a different route through education.
Entry level to Level 3
Programmes shaped around the learner.
Approved delivery centre
For Asdan and AQA.
Home education programmes
A steady structure for learning at home.
For home-schooled children, a structured programme can offer rhythm, practical learning and a chance to build confidence at their own pace.
Our charity work helps fund support, so cost is not always a barrier to taking part.
Parents can ask about structured programmes, community activities and available charity-funded support. Funding and availability can vary.

The work that happens around the learner matters too.
Our charity workshops and youth projects support vulnerable adults and young people facing a wide range of challenges.
Our youth projects are welcoming spaces where teenagers can meet friends, learn new skills, work through mental health challenges including depression and build a supportive relationship with a mentor.
This holiday club has been amazing for my daughter! Laura and the team have made Phoebe feel so welcome and she’s enjoyed it so much she’s asking to go in everyday. This has been the first club Phoebe has willingly wanted to go in the holidays and I’m so proud she’s made some friends. She’s loving all the girly activities and her little trips to the park. Can’t thank Laura enough for what it’s brought out in my daughter 🩷
Great experience and learned a lot. Would definitely recommend coming here.
Adult courses
Accessible learning that helps adults try something new and take a next step.
Confidence and skills
Small, useful gains that can make everyday life and future choices feel more possible.
A little evidence
Careful delivery, with people at the centre.
Younique Talent was awarded a Cheshire East Council SEND tender and now delivers alternative provision across the North West.
The work is outcome-driven and safeguarding-led: clear plans, thoughtful support and attention to what helps each person move forward.
The sessions have been amazing for my daughter. Since starting, her confidence has grown so much, and she has learned so many new skills. Any worries or nerves she had were quickly put at ease by the wonderful, supportive staff, who have been fantastic throughout. It's been lovely to see her enjoy herself and become more confident each week. I'm so excited to see how much more her confidence will continue to grow. Thank you to everyone involved!
