Inside Our Alternative Provision Resource Boxes: Supporting Every Learner Becky – Production Professor at CBHQ

Becky explained that the aim of every box is to make learning accessible, engaging, and inclusive for all children, particularly those in alternative provision, children with SEMH needs, and pupils who may struggle in a traditional classroom environment.

“What we strive to do is make sure children feel included as much as possible,” she said. “We want them to feel capable, confident, and genuinely excited to learn. At the same time, we also want teachers and support staff to feel equipped and supported with practical, adaptable resources they can use straight away.”

Rather than creating a one-size-fits-all approach, Becky carefully tailors each resource box to the level a child is currently working at.

“It’s never about what a child should be achieving for their age,” she explained. “It’s about meeting them where they are and building from there. Every child learns differently, and our role is to provide meaningful learning opportunities that support progress at their own pace.”

The boxes are designed to encourage hands-on learning, curiosity, independence, and engagement, while also supporting core primary curriculum skills in a way that feels manageable and achievable.

“We know that for some children, learning can feel overwhelming,” Becky said. “So we try to remove barriers to learning wherever possible. Whether that’s through practical STEM activities, sensory-friendly approaches, differentiated resources, or flexible ways to access the task, the focus is always on helping children experience success.”

By working closely with schools, outreach teams, and alternative provision settings, Becky ensures that every resource box is purposeful, supportive, and genuinely beneficial for both pupils and educators.

“At the heart of it all,” she said, “we just want every child to feel that learning is for them too.”
