Summary

Springwell Alternative Academy Mablethorpe is a free school alternative provision located in Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire, catering to pupils with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties. The academy serves students from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 4, with a focus on providing tailored educational support. While Key Stage 4 pupils typically remain until the end of Year 11, those in Key Stages 1-3 are offered short-stay provisions aimed at reintegration into mainstream education or transition to appropriate special school settings.

The staff work closely with families to identify each child's unique needs, ensuring that all pupils feel valued and successful throughout their educational journey. Admission is facilitated through referrals from mainstream schools or local authorities following permanent exclusions.
