Literacy and reading
Phonics, fluency, comprehension and vocabulary work for young people who have gaps after disrupted schooling.
Interventions
The right support at the right time
Alongside lessons, sport and mentoring, we use short, targeted interventions so barriers to learning do not become permanent barriers to progress.
Interventions sit inside personal plans. We use baseline information, teacher knowledge, family insight and, where relevant, education health and care plan outcomes to decide what will help most.
Support is time-limited, reviewed, and adapted. The aim is not endless small groups; it is quicker access to mainstream learning with confidence growing.
Types of support
What intervention can look like
Support is matched to the young person. Not every learner needs every strand. Reviews decide what stays, what changes and what ends.
Numeracy and academic catch-up
Focused sessions that secure the skills needed to rejoin the main lesson confidently.
Mentoring and Key Adult support
One-to-one and small-group mentoring for settling, attendance, friendships and everyday problem-solving.
Regulation and wellbeing
Practical coaching for managing feelings, using calm strategies and returning to learning when ready.
Sport as engagement
Structured physical activity and coaching that rebuild attendance, energy for learning and positive peer teamwork.
Music mentoring
Creative mentoring through music with Do The Mic Thing: a route into confidence, expression and belonging alongside everyday Key Adult support.
Online and blended catch-up
Where it fits the plan, platforms such as Purple Ruler and Academy21 support personalised academic catch-up under staff oversight.
Exam access preparation
Where learners sit external assessments, we plan reasonable adjustments early with the assessments process.
Reintegration planning
Transition support back to school, college, training or another agreed pathway.
Multi-agency partnership
Where specialist external support is needed, we work with families and professionals through proper channels rather than inventing a parallel clinical service.
