Our Programmes

WHAT DO WE DO?

In a post-COVID world, the traditional education system has faced significant challenges, resulting in a growing number of disengaged young people experiencing declining mental health and reduced attendance. The world has evolved, but education has not kept pace.

Recognising this critical gap, our charity is committed to transforming the educational landscape for young people.

We aim to bridge this gap by providing a forward-thinking, flexible learning environment that caters to the unique needs of a post-COVID generation. What sets us apart is that, as experienced teachers, we do not require schools to grant staff leave to participate in our programs.

This flexibility ensures that educators can seamlessly integrate our support within their regular school schedules, offering young people consistency and dedicated guidance.

Our approach not only focuses on academic achievement but also prioritises the physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being of young people. With over 40 years of experience, including working with SIMD 1/2 and young people with barriers to learning, our team brings a wealth of expertise to address the diverse needs of students, supporting them both academically and personally.

OUR EFFORTS WILL ADDRESS

1. Relevant Curriculum

We understand that a traditional one-size-fits-all curriculum may not meet the diverse needs and interests of today's generation. Therefore, we are dedicated to delivering a relevant curriculum that is engaging, adaptable, and aligned with the changing world, preparing young people for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.

2. Flexible Learning Environment

We offer a dynamic and flexible learning environment that caters to the individual pace and preferences of each young person. This approach enables them to thrive and achieve academic success on their terms, reducing the risk of disengagement. Our subjects allow us to deliver a suite of qualifications.

3. Inadequate CLPL Provision for Teachers

With over 40 years of experience, including working with SIMD 1/2 and young people with many barriers to learning, our team of educators possesses unparalleled expertise in addressing the diverse needs of young people. This ensures that each student receives the guidance and support necessary to excel academically and personally.

4. Supporting Relationship Building

5. Decrease in funding for alternative provision

We are acutely aware that the decrease in funding for alternative provisions is making mainstream education more challenging for all students. Our programs aim to alleviate the pressures on mainstream education by offering additional support and alternative pathways for young people to explore various destinations beyond traditional education, whether that means pursuing vocational training, entrepreneurship, or other opportunities.
