Tameside Alternative Provision Academy is an integrated provision for young people in Tameside who are currently not in mainstream school from KS2-4. We also have a specialist setting for a cohort of KS4 students with Education Health and Social Care Plans. TAPA is located on two sites across the authority, Elmbridge School in Denton and White Bridge College in Dukinfield.

Our curriculum is designed to be flexible and responsive blending academic qualifications with developing skills for life and work. These include a range of GCSE, BTEC and Vocational qualifications and delivered by specialist teaching staff. Our relational inclusion approach underpins all that we do and is based on an understanding of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma and attachment.
