What we offer
-
SEND
We offer Inreach support away from school sites and personalised support for SEND learners working towards their EHCP outcomes.
This includes attending Annual Reviews, PEPs, and other meetings to help shape ongoing provision. Our approach is creative and tailored to each learner’s needs and targets, using visual aids and personalised communication plans. These are reviewed and updated every 6 weeks, and shared with commissioners and parents/carers.
-
Lifeskills
We work with our young people to help them prepare for adulthood. Mentoring them both directly and indirectly around healthy life choices, making a positive impact and creating inspiration for future progression.
We also enable progression, by supporting the transition to return to mainstream education and further education for post 16 when possible. Our goal is for our learners to achieve a new level of confidence and self esteem, whilst establishing a love of learning.
-
Working with nature
There is the opportunity for interactions with animals, working with them therapeutically and learning from these interactions.
Exploration of the natural world enables learners to develop confidence and self esteem, allowing each student the opportunity to stretch the expectations they have for themselves and persevere to reach their full potential.
-
Creativity
There is a focus on play through the arts, developing supported risk taking whilst experiencing art techniques, such as working with clay, paint, collage, sculpture etc, inspired by our outdoor experiences.
By focusing on play through the arts, we believe learners can enjoy the process, helping them build confidence and a lifelong interest in learning.
Opportunities for progress
For those students who would like to work towards qualifications, as a qualified teacher I have experience of helping learners with a range of additional needs achieve different qualifications whilst working in a creative and outdoor provision.
Vocational qualifications such as:
Arts Award - Discover/Explore/Bronze (level 1 qualification in art)/ Silver (level 2 qualification in art) (from 2hr / week)
A series of Short courses with a SEMH focus (suitable for those attending for 1hr / week)
Functional Skills support
I can support learners in working towards Maths and English Functional Skills, from Entry Level 1 up to Level 2.
