Our programmes are designed to offer quality enriching and engaging educational activities, either at your premises or at one of our sites.

Our approach is based on therapeutic practical activities and approaches. Our staff are professionally trained with a wide variety of relevant background skills and qualifications. Being registered with AQA we are able to deliver their Unit Award Scheme for certain programmes.

  • Early Intervention Groups = high impact, small group programmes designed to target students at risk of exclusion or in need of a boost in self esteem, confidence and resilience.
