A New Model for Alternative Provision in Croydon

Discover how FIIT Learning Academy in Addiscombe, Croydon is redefining alternative provision through a future-focused model that helps SEND learners thrive academically and personally.

Across Croydon, more families are looking for alternative provision that truly meets the needs of young people who struggle in mainstream settings.

At FIIT Learning Academy in Addiscombe, we’ve created a new model designed around four guiding principles; Future-Focused, Inclusion, Inter-subject, and Transformational (FIIT) — to make learning personal, relevant, and empowering.

Our mission is simple: to provide safe, personalised, transformational education for learners who need a new way to reconnect with their potential.

At FIIT Learning, every lesson looks ahead. We equip learners with skills for life after school, from digital literacy and employability to emotional intelligence and teamwork.

Instead of a one-size-fits-all curriculum, students follow pathways that blend academic study, project-based learning, and real-world applications. Whether the goal is college, an apprenticeship, or starting a small business, we help each learner see a future they can believe in.

Inclusion at the Core

We’re proud to serve SEND learners in Croydon, as our approach builds confidence through relational mentoring and emotional support. Small class sizes, and staff who truly understand each student’s story make FIIT Learning feel less like a school and more like a supportive community.

Inter-subject and Project-Based

Our learners don’t just study subjects, they connect them. A single project might combine science, art, and technology to design a sustainable home, or mix English and music to produce a podcast. This inter-subject method makes learning engaging, creative, and rooted in real-world problem-solving, exactly what future employers and colleges value.

Transformational Outcomes

We measure success beyond grades. Transformation shows up in the moments students rediscover curiosity, regulate their emotions, and build healthy relationships. Our mentors track academic, social, and emotional progress through personalised learning plans, ensuring that every learner leaves FIIT Learning with recognised achievements.

Working Together with Croydon’s Community

We collaborate with local authorities, schools, and families to create consistent support around every learner. From referral to reintegration, communication and compassion guide every step.

FIIT Learning Academy stands for possibility, for young people, families, and education itself. We believe that with the right environment, every learner can succeed. If you’re a parent, school, or professional looking for high-quality alternative provision in Croydon, we invite you to see the FIIT difference for yourself.

Providing safe, personalised, and transformational education for learners who need an alternative to mainstream.
