Commissioner’s Information
Partnering with Lotus Rise
Lotus Rise is dedicated to delivering high-quality, compliant, and personalised Alternative Provision (AP) for young people who need additional support beyond mainstream education. Our approach is centred on meeting individual needs, promoting wellbeing, and helping every learner make meaningful progress.
We maintain strong, transparent relationships with commissioners, schools, and local authorities to ensure that referrals into our provision are smooth, efficient, and aligned with statutory guidance. This collaborative approach allows us to provide the right support at the right time, ensuring each student receives a tailored pathway that meets their unique circumstances.
What We Offer
We deliver bespoke education packages that focus on:
- Core Learning: GCSEs and Functional Skills in English and Maths.
- Vocational Courses: NCFE qualifications to support practical and life skills.
- Holistic Development: Behaviour management, mental health support, and social skills.

Our provision is designed to empower young people to re-engage with education, achieve qualifications, and develop essential life skills.
