About Being Me Education
What is our provision?
Being Me Education Ltd is a short-term, preventative alternative provision focused on helping young people quickly reintegrate back into mainstream education, rather than remaining in alternative settings long-term.
Our approach is unique in that we work both with pupils and alongside schools—supporting vulnerable students at risk of exclusion, poor attendance, or mental health challenges, while also developing local teaching practice to create lasting impact within mainstream settings.
We help students already on roll to stay in education, building their confidence, resilience, and readiness to return successfully. In addition, we can screen and assess pupils not currently in education, identifying the most suitable school or provision to ensure the right placement from the outset. We do this with a combination of tailored subject focused interventions and project-based learning where we work closely with the local community.
By combining education, life skills, and mental health support, we provide a targeted, reintegrative model that prevents unnecessary placements in long term alternative provision and keeps more young people thriving in mainstream education.

This provides a strong foundation on which they can engage in reflecting and creating a tool kit so they can best support themselves in school and in the “real world”.
As a provision, we understand that our learners may have unidentified additional educational needs. If these needs require more exploration or support, we will work with other agencies and professionals to provide the best provision possible.
