About Us

Springwell Alternative Academy Lincoln is a Specialist Alternative Provision for pupils with Social, emotional and mental health difficulties. We provide education for pupils from KS1 through to KS4 (Y1-Y11). Pupils in KS4 will usually stay with us until the end of Y11 but for pupils in KS1-3 (Y1-9) we are a short stay provision. This means that we will work with your child to try to reintegrate them back into a Mainstream school or support a transition to an appropriate Special School setting.There is no set time for this process and it will depend on each individual child or young person’s needs. We will keep you informed about your child’s progress and any plans for your child’s next steps in education.
Regardless of their next steps we aim for pupils to leave Springwell feeling valued and successful.

Admission to Springwell Lincoln is via referral from mainstream schools or referral from the Local Authority following a permanent exclusion.
