Act Fast is an Independent School borne out of a Community Interest Company, established in 2007 to provide alternative education for young people with learning and/or behavioural difficulties who do not flourish in mainstream schools.
Alternative provision is commissioned by local authorities (L.A) and schools for children of compulsory school age who cannot attend a mainstream or special school (because of illness or exclusion from school for example), or who are disaffected/disengaged from education and at risk of exclusion.
Act Fast works closely with the local education authority, Youth Offending Service and local community groups in and around the North Lincolnshire area, and we provide placements during school hours for young people during the whole scholastic year.
Providing staff and resources to promote a safe learning environment, encouraging individuals to re-engage in the learning process with a view to gaining confidence, improving their own future economic wellbeing and developing employability.
