Overcoming the AEP capacity crisis facing the UK

Discover solutions that are giving students currently left on long waiting lists, access to quality education

Since summer, the number of students not attending mainstream schools has been soaring, with over a third of councils reporting having long waiting lists for pupil referral unit places. The demand for a suitable solution is showing no sign of slowing down.  

During our webinar, Tute was joined by our guest panellist, Neil Bugdale, Assistant headteacher at Sprowston Community Academy, where he shared their secret to how they’ve been successfully tackling AEP capacity issues, with a flexible, accessible solution that’s been re-engaging learners, increasing attendance, and improving outcomes.

“I wasn’t a fan of physical classrooms. I ended up dropping out of public secondary school in like the beginning of year 8, I think? Then I spent the next 3-4 years not really doing anything until GCSEs came up and my school recommended Tute… I experienced autistic burnout but I didn’t know I was autistic at the time so no one (and myself) had any idea what was going on with me and my mental health just kind of declined super fast…”
