DfE Registered Alternative Education Provision Flexible Purchasing System (FPS

<p>The aim of the project is to create a Flexible Purchasing System (FPS) and identify Providers who can deliver excellent alternative provision for the education of pupils at key stage 3, 4 and 5 by offering a flexible response to those not placed in a mainstream or special school.</p>
<p><strong>Registered schools within the Liverpool City Region</strong> may apply at any time, the Applications they submit will only be assessed and added to the FPS at 3 periods during each academic year.</p>
