Our provision is designed for students in Key Stages 3–5 who may find traditional classroom learning challenging. This includes young people with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs, those who are neurodivergent, or those who have experienced trauma. We provide a flexible, supportive, and personalised approach so every student can engage, build confidence, and make progress

• Functional Skills English and Maths
• Pathway to Adulthood Programme

All qualifications are fully accredited by NOCN and recognised by schools, colleges, and employers.

Every student is baselined when they start, so we understand their current level, strengths, and support needs. Lessons are then planned specifically for them, taking into account:

• Their learning style
• Their interests
• Their emotional and social needs

This ensures learning is meaningful, engaging, and accessible.

A key difference is our online exams, which remove many of the pressures of large exam halls and unfamiliar environments. This helps students feel safer, calmer, and able to show what they know without unnecessary stress.

We use a supportive, needs-led approach. Lessons move at an appropriate pace, and we provide reassurance, encouragement, and strategies tailored to each student. Our aim is to build confidence and enable steady academic progress.

Progress is monitored through ongoing assessment and tutor feedback, helping us adjust teaching as needed. Students work towards the level they need, and measurable outcomes are shared with schools, local authorities, and families where appropriate.

We focus on next steps for each student, which may include:

• Returning to school
• Moving into further education or training
• Continuing with another pathway suited to their needs

We work with schools, local authorities, and families to support a positive and sustainable transition.
