Celebrating True Inclusivity

Alternative Provision
At Clear Steps Plus Education (CSPE), we provide specialist alternative provision designed to bridge the gap between mainstream and specialist SEND schools. We are dedicated to delivering flexible, compassionate, and neurodiversity-aware education for children aged 11 to 18 whose needs cannot be fully met within mainstream settings.

Private Tuition
At Clear Steps Plus, we believe that every child has the potential to thrive when they feel confident and supported. Our philosophy centers on well-being, ensuring that as students reach for their full academic potential, they do so with a strong sense of self-belief. Whether your child is just starting their school journey or preparing for final exams, we offer a warm, encouraging environment to help them succeed.

SEND Consultancy
Clear Steps Plus Education (CSPE) provides expert consultancy to support schools in creating truly inclusive environments for all learners. Established in 2018, we have extensive experience working alongside neurodiverse children, their families, schools, Local Authorities, and SEND professionals to improve outcomes through practical, evidence-informed strategies.
"At Clear Steps Plus Education we believe every child should have the support they deserve to reach their full potential"
We are two experienced educators who share a deep belief in the potential of every young person. With decades of combined teaching, leadership and specialist support experience, we created Clear Steps Plus to offer a nurturing, personalised and academically rigorous environment where learners can grow in confidence and achieve their personal best.
Our motivation for establishing our alternative provision is deeply personal. As mothers of neurodiverse twins, we have lived the journey of navigating support systems, advocating for our children and understanding the emotional landscape families face. This experience fuels our commitment to creating a space where every learner feels understood, valued and supported in ways that honour their individuality.
Our work is grounded in compassion, high expectations and a commitment to understanding each child as an individual. As parents ourselves, we know how important it is to feel that your child is supported, valued and encouraged every step of the way.
EXCELLENT Based on 23 reviews Posted on Google Sophie BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter started attending the alternative provision at clear steps last year after being out of mainstream school for 6 months. My daughter enjoys her sessions, she says the tutors are kind and considerate and go at her pace. Before finding clear steps we really were at a loss, I feared that my then year 10 child might not attend an education setting again and she wouldn't sit any GCSE's. Thanks to clear steps putting a package in place that suits my daughters needs down to a T. She is now working towards sitting her maths and English GCSE'S and she is working towards a beauty diploma along side them. I cannot thank them enough for making my daughters last school year meaningful after so much lost education.Posted on Google joanne mokTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My elder daughter began her English tuition with Hilary in February of Year 7 and we couldn’t be happier with the progress she has made. Hilary is a professional, patient and kind tutor who truly understands each student’s individual needs. Under her guidance, my daughter’s confidence and skills in English have significantly improved. Hilary also helped prepare my daughter for an in-year assessment for a grammar school, and we were very pleased with the results. Seeing this positive experience, we decided to start our younger daughter (now in Year 5) with Hilary’s tuition from September. We are confident that, with Hilary’s support, she will also achieve great results in 11 plus exam. We highly recommend this tuition centre to any parent looking for quality tutoring in a supportive and nurturing environment.Posted on Google Vic PayneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A truly exceptional service that has made a world of difference to my son and our family. This service was recommended to me when my son couldn't attend school anymore. Having a child so broken by school is a desperate place to be. Clear Steps have been a lifeline to us. I am so grateful for how they have helped my academic son with his education, confidence and so much more. Clear Steps have also provided a much needed bridge between us and school and even the LA. They have done this with much skill and understanding. I only wish I had contacted Clear Steps earlier so we could have had their tailored support, knowledge and kindness in place to help us throughout. I would recommend you do just that - this is so much more than a tutoring service.Posted on Google Louise McintoshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My child has thrived since starting at Clearsteps.He was nervous,disengaged and despondent when he started.A needs 1st tailored approach,patient experienced staff,and a welcome SEN friendly environment has made a huge difference to his confidence and academic progress.Posted on Google mike sleeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent facility for learning. Tailored and fexible approach to suit individual needs, esepcially for those children with additional learning requirements. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Sarah O'NeillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both my children have worked with Clearsteps and they are amazing. My oldest daughter needed help at high school due to SEN needs and they knew exactly how to work with her, encourage and support her in the ways she needed. They gave her confidence to do her GCSEs and do better than anyone expected. My younger daughter has been working with Clearsteps for the 11+ tuition and they have done an incredible job at encouraging her with tips and tricks as well as ensuring her understanding of the topics. We couldn’t have asked for better support for our children and they wouldn’t be where they are now without them. Thank you!Posted on Google Jane AspinallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karen and Alicia have always gone the extra mile. Not only did they provide expert tutoring, they have always provided advice to support my son's development even after he finished. Can't ask for nicer or more supportive tutors.Posted on Google Connor ReillyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has been attending CSPE since November 2021. I can wholeheartedly say that it has been one of the best decisions we ever made. He has made so much progress and gained so much confidence, all through the stellar support, care and education that CSPE and their tutors have to offer. They have been incredible, not only through tutoring but also with supporting in the attainment of an EHCP and assisting with EHCP reviews, providing evidence and assistance with obtaining an ASD diagnosis and most importantly being outstanding advocates for my son to be transferred out of a mainstream and to a setting more appropriate for his needs. They have gone, and continue to go, above and beyond. Any parent using CSPE’s services will gain an incredible resource in educating their child and also fighting for your child’s future.Posted on Google Jothi RamanujamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
