This will involve: - Providing structured education, pastoral care, and behaviour support for up to 20 pupils aged 11-16. - Operating during standard school hours and term times. - Collaborating with school staff and external agencies as appropriate. The provider must: - Deliver a curriculum aligned with the national curriculum (including English, Maths, and PSHE). This will be delivered by existing TEMA staff as part of their normal timetable. - Support behaviour improvement, attendance, and pupil well-being. - Provide staff trained in trauma-informed approaches and behaviour management. - Offer tailored interventions and reintegration support where appropriate. - Maintain safeguarding, health & safety, and data protection in line with school policies ## CPV classification Education and training services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-05926d-2025-09-02T15:40:13+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-05926d-2025-09-02T15:40:13+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
