We aim for all children to achieve external qualifications through ASDAN Programmes and Functional Skills, and offer work experience placements with strong job coaching to support their development.
Our After School Club is designed for secondary-aged young people, providing varied activities, sports, and key life skills to expand experiences and opportunities for all children.
We offer comprehensive support to ensure families are involved in their child's education and development, providing resources to help parents understand their child's progress and needs.
