Quantum Scholars is proud to have been approved onto Herefordshire Council's Alternative Provision Framework and is preparing for a significant increase in learner referrals across Herefordshire and the surrounding areas from September 2026.
As our provision grows, we are looking to build a dedicated network of SEND Tutors, SEMH Tutors, Mentors, Learning Support Assistants (LSAs), Teaching Assistants, Behaviour Mentors, Youth Workers, Pastoral Support Staff, and SEND Support Workers who are passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable children and young people.

Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
