About
A specialist partner for the children most settings find hard to support
Parity Education (full legal name: Parity Education and Careers Services) was founded by senior teachers, SENCos and therapeutic practitioners who had spent years watching the wrong children fall through the gap between mainstream school and crisis intervention.
Our position
We are not just a tutoring company
We are a specialist alternative provision and reintegration partner. We work where mainstream school is not currently the answer, and we hold the educational, therapeutic and operational weight of those cases on behalf of the commissioner.
Our team is small by design. Every young person on our books is known, by name, by the senior team. Every tutor is supervised, supported and accountable.
Principles
Four commitments we hold ourselves to
01
Relationship before curriculum
We do not begin with a worksheet. We begin with a young person who has often been let down, and we earn the right to teach them.
02
Trauma-informed, evidence-led
Our practice draws on attachment theory, polyvagal-informed approaches and the lived experience of vulnerable learners.
03
Operationally serious
Calm tone, sharp paperwork. Section F mapping, panel-ready evidence, compliant safeguarding from day one.
04
Honest about pace
We will not pretend a young person is ready before they are. We will tell you the truth about what good progress looks like.
How we work
A serious provision run by experienced professionals
Senior-led referrals
Every enquiry is read and triaged by a senior team member, not a sales desk.
UK-wide reach
We accept referrals from Local Authorities and schools across the UK, subject to capacity and case fit.
Enhanced DBS certificate for every tutor and staff member
No tutor begins a session without an enhanced DBS, references and trauma-informed training in place.
Next step
Talk to our senior team
Every commissioning conversation begins with a senior placement lead, not a sales team.
