Our Provision

The aim of the provision is to work with students who are at risk of permanent exclusion, or those who would benefit from support outside of the school setting, the family setting, and schools.The focus is to prevent permanent exclusions of young students who bring weapons into school at KS4, those who have behaviour issues, or students involved with gangs or county lines.
 
ATTACHMENT AWARENESS
100% Sports & Education Centre is an attachment-aware alternative education provision.When young people have had adverse childhood experiences – abuse, neglect or any other trauma – it impedes both their emotional and physiological development as well as their brain capacity. The effects of trauma can be felt by experiencing it directly or by witnessing it with others. This inhibits their ability to cope with even the most simple requirements of the education system. All our staff are trained in attachment-awareness, trauma-informed practice and emotion coaching techniques and we use this approach to ensure that no young people are left behind.
 
The Key Adult: Mentors
Children with attachment difficulties need a key adult with whom they can build a trusting relationship. Secure attachment relationships correlate strongly with higher academic attainment, better self-regulation and social competence, helping them lay the foundation for success in their next stages of education and adult lives.Effective Practice: Boxing TrainingWe use daily Sports training to provide a non-stigmatising, skill-based intervention which successfully improves the wellbeing, academic success, resilience and life opportunities for children. It uses targeted physical and mental activities to teach core life skills, focussing on improving executive functions. Sessions similar to smart gym circuit training supports:
 
  • Attention and focus
  • Inner state control
  • Working memory
  • Relaxation and de-stress techniques
  • Teamwork and communication
