C3.09

Reintegration is the often-overlooked other side of the exclusion coin—a critical process that allows pupils to transition back from Alternative Provision (AP) to mainstream education or school life after extended periods.

This session dives deep into what it takes to make reintegration successful, offering a blend of personal stories, real-world challenges, and practical strategies.

Led by a panel of education and system leaders, including experts from St Helens and Haringey, we’ll explore how a ecosystem approach—where mainstream schools, AP settings, and children's services collaborate—can unlock better outcomes for pupils.

Discover why reintegration is both challenging and essential. With over 48,000 pupils in AP, many struggle to transition back, often citing a lack of belonging or support. Yet, success stories are emerging, offering hope and actionable insights.
Whether you’re a leader, practitioner, or policymaker, join us for an inspiring session that highlights the power of collective action in reshaping the reintegration narrative.
