Information about the School

Based in the heart of Thurrock, our school specialises in alternative provision and supporting the social and emotional educational needs of young people. Olive AP Academy supports pupils for whom traditional teaching methods have not worked. Students, ranging in age from 11 to 14, join us following permanent exclusion from a mainstream school or due to having medical needs that prevent them from attending a mainstream setting. Our school is a nurturing, inclusive community where students are able to grow and develop. We strive to ensure success for all our learners academically, socially and morally. We build a curriculum around the needs of our students in the hope that our Year 11 students leave with qualifications on par with their mainstream peers and transition into education, training or employment.

Alongside our ever-growing curriculum, our academies offer our students additional qualifications in non-traditional subjects such as sailing, climbing, extreme mountain biking, bushcraft and first aid. All students receive therapeutic support and this can range from a set or personalised programme, counselling, speech and language intervention or small group activities around self-worth and wellbeing. We pride ourself on encouraging positive mental health and wellbeing and are pleased to have received a National Wellbeing Award, which acknowledges the support we provide for staff, students and families. Working in alternative provision can be challenging, but joining the Olive family is one of the most rewarding and positive career developments you will make. If you have the experience and enthusiasm to support us on our journey, I would love to hear from you. Thank you for your interest.
