We are an SEND Alternative Provision catering to children aged 4 to 13
Our focus is on supporting children with moderate to severe learning, social, and emotional needs, including children on the autism spectrum. Additionally, we welcome children with physical, visual, and hearing impairments, as well as those with basic health needs.
Children are at the heart of everything we do at HOPECFI!
Our Mission
HOPECFI is a recently launched SEND and Inclusion Provision located in East Leeds. Our primary goal is to provide alternative learning and educational opportunities for school-aged children who are either registered in a mainstream school as they await placement in a specialist school, attend mainstream school but in addition, require alternative provision due to additional or complex needs, or seek respite for parents engaged in homeschooling.
Our mission is rooted in ensuring that every child with Special Educational Needs or Disability has the opportunity for a better start in life.
And it starts with HOPE.
Opened October 2024
Placement can be temporary or long term.
