ALTERNATIVE PROVISION
Educreate's media provision gives young people hands-on experience in photography, videography, and digital editing, building practical creative skills in a structured environment designed to re-engage them with learning. Programmes are delivered by practitioners with specialist experience in SEN and SEMH needs, structured around each student's interests and ability level.
What Makes Our Media Provision Different
Real-World Creative Practice
Students develop practical skills across photography, videography, and digital editing, working with real equipment to plan, shoot, and edit their own projects. Producing tangible, finished work builds creative decision-making and problem-solving alongside technical competence. Sessions are available on a 1:1 or small group basis, structured around each student's starting point with no prior experience required.
Arts Award
(Trinity College London)
We offer Arts Award at Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels through our media pathway, delivered through personalised 1:1 and small group sessions. Each level provides a nationally recognised qualification that builds creative skills, develops confidence, and generates a tangible sense of achievement. Gold Arts Award carries UCAS tariff points, supporting progression into higher education.

Who This Is For
Our media programmes are particularly well suited to young people who are drawn to visual creativity, technology, or digital content. We support students aged 12 to 25 experiencing social, emotional, or mental health challenges; at risk of exclusion or disengagement; or not currently accessing school-based education. Media provision is available for students in SEN schools, mainstream schools, and community settings across Milton Keynes and Bedfordshire.
