Suffolk-based Apex Education is aiming to open a "brand new venue in Lowestoft" after Easter.

Work started last week on transforming a former barbers on Milton Road East for the new facility.

Apex Education is an alternative provision which launched in September 2024 from its base in Bucklesham, Ipswich.

Offering students a safe, friendly, challenging environment where they can express themselves in a positive way, it is run by a team of professionals with over 25 years of leadership and teaching experience in high schools.

As an alternative provision they provide an education for students that are not currently in school or having difficulties in school, as they empower students through sports-based education.

The sports and activities based alternative provision is open to students aged from seven to 25-year-old students with a curriculum that includes English, maths and PSHE lessons.

In posts on social media, they said: "Exciting news!

"We officially started work on our brand new venue in Lowestoft, located in the old hairdressers next to The Fort.

"It’s great to finally get things under way, and we can’t wait to bring our plans to life over the coming weeks.

"We will be opening after Easter and are really excited to share the journey with you all as the transformation begins!"
