Alternative Education Providers
If your child is not in mainstream school for whatever reason, you might find yourself in need of an AP - an Alternative Provider. Here, we’ve rounded up a list of the most frequently recommended AP services from the Worcestershire Mums Network Group .
WLZ Group
WLZ believes that education should start with the learner and adapt to suit their needs. We provide a range of educational services to children, young people, and adults, and all of our trained and DBS checked tutors share the belief that education should be enjoyable, worthwhile and accessible. We are independent and therefore able to provide flexible and bespoke learning opportunities suited to everyone.
