A coherent and responsive education pathway for those pupils who are struggling to cope in the main school. Leaders maintain strong oversight of pupils’ welfare and progress in the provision. – Ofsted 2026
Dudley Academies Trust is proud to offer comprehensive Alternative Provision across both primary and secondary education, ensuring every learner has the opportunity to thrive. The Trust-wide Secondary Alternative Provision Centre, located at Pegasus Academy, operates in collaboration with Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (DMBC) and the Local Authority Pathway Learning. This dedicated centre serves the complex needs of learners and their families from all four secondary schools within the Trust.
This separate provision from the mainstream school features its own entrance, specialist facilities, and dedicated staff, ensuring that learners with complex needs receive bespoke interventions and a suitable curriculum. This support is designed to help learners overcome challenges and achieve their highest potential. Furthermore, the Trust has established a primary Aspire Centre at Kates Hill Primary School, providing tailored interventions and support from the earliest stages of education through to secondary level.
By offering high-quality alternative education, Dudley Academies Trust strives to significantly reduce permanent exclusions and support positive support and outcomes for all learners.
