The Alternative Learning Project (ALP) (Previously known as ASD Learning Ltd) is a group of special needs schools specializing in 9-19 year olds with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD).[1] It currently has 3 centres, two of them are in the south-east of England, where it has a well-known reputation as most the public special needs schools in Kent have been shut-down due to budget cuts by Kent County Council (KCC). They also have a centre in Leicester which is the only current centre in the midlands.
ALP was founded by Philip Hoppenbrouwers as ASD Learning Ltd. after leaving the Helen Allison school in Gravesend, Kent. It was originally run out of a single-story construction in Hoppenbrouwers' garden. But was moved due to space restrictions to Harmer Street in Gravesend where there is still a centre today, although it has expanded inside the building. Since then a second centre has opened in the south-east and another in the midlands.
It became Ofsted registered in 2011. Before then it has been known as a 'Private Tuition Centre' as they hadn't been required to register as a school until they exceeded a specific number of students.
During 2013 - 2014, They have started implementing new learning technologies in their centres, such as interactive whiteboards and online worksheets.
At its peak, the ALP had a total of 5 centres, three of which were in or around the London area, however two of the three London centres, at Woolwich and Kentish Town, were closed down due to budget cuts, after these centres were closed down, the majority of their students were relocated to the nearby Gravesend (now Pierview Academy) and Welling (now Parkview Academy) centres.
