“We are here to empower young people to take confident strides toward a brighter, more fulfilling future.”
Founded in 2025, Stride Alternative Provision is a dedicated service providing tailored educational support throughout the Greater Manchester area. We specialise in offering a bespoke, one-to-one approach to alternative provision, designed to meet the unique needs of each young person we work with.
At Stride, we recognise that every child’s journey is different. Through compassionate mentorship and individualised support, we address unmet social, emotional, and mental health needs to help young people navigate challenges and make positive life choices. Our commitment extends beyond the individual, involving families, schools, and the wider support network to ensure lasting, meaningful change. We are here to empower young people to take confident strides toward a brighter, more fulfilling future.
Our core values drive everything that we do
Bespoke support
We are dedicated to providing personalised, inclusive support that caters to the unique needs of each young person. Recognising that all young people are unique, with diverse backgrounds and individual barriers, we offer one-to-one support that helps us understand their specific needs. This enables us to deliver a bespoke package of support tailored to empower them. By working collaboratively with families, schools, and communities, we ensure that every individual feels valued, understood, and supported as they work towards fulfilling their potential.
Enabling potential
We believe in unlocking the full potential of every young person by offering tailored interventions, guidance, and resources that help them overcome obstacles and embrace their strengths. We understand that not every young person feels comfortable in the mainstream school environment, and that alternative provision is sometimes required to support them through the barriers they face. Our goal is to equip them with the skills and confidence they need to reach their highest aspirations, regardless of the challenges they encounter.
Empowering lasting change
We are committed to creating transformative, long-term change in the lives of young people. Through mentorship, support, and enrichment, we inspire them to make empowered choices, develop resilience, and build brighter futures that have a lasting impact on their personal growth and success. This lasting change is supported by also providing guidance and resources to parents, carers, families, schools, and the wider support network, ensuring that young people are surrounded by a cohesive system of care and understanding that empowers them to thrive in all aspects of life.
