To create a new minimum standard for the UK’s most vulnerable young people.
Targeted Provision provides tuition and mentoring programmes both online and face-to-face for young people across the UK that require additional educational support. Offering tailored educational tutoring, Targeted Provisions works with local authorities and schools throughout the country with the support of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) professionals.
Since the company's inception in 2018, it has developed a team of over 60 individuals, dedicated to offering young people the educational support they need. Through the team's hard work and motivation, Targeted Provision has positioned itself to serve the ever-evolving SEND tutoring and mentoring sector.
In 2022, Targeted Provision received a significant investment from Agathos to support its leadership team in delivering further growth plans for the coming years. With this new partnership, Targeted Provision will be able to reach further in its mission to positively impact the lives of young people with additional educational needs and expand its position in the UK.
