Stace Provision
A family-run organisation founded in 2026, created in response to the growing need for meaningful alternatives to mainstream education, leveraging over 10 years of experience. We offer a carefully balanced programme that utilises sports and/or gaming as a key engagement tool. Through youth mentorship, we help young people reconnect with learning and achieve their full potential.

Featured in the Suffolk County Council's AP approved directory, our provision supports young people with learning, social and emotional needs, helping them regain confidence and move towards positive educational and personal outcomes by using sport and gaming as purposeful engagement tools.
Sport and gaming
Used as purposeful engagement tools to help build relationships, motivation and confidence. Activities are carefully planned to support wider developmental outcomes such as teamwork, communication, resilience, emotional regulation and problem-solving.
