Achieve: skills for life, confidence you can prove
The King's Trust Achieve programme is a flexible personal development offer for young people aged 11 to 19. At Evolution Education it sits inside KS4 pathways, mentoring and careers, so learners build confidence, teamwork and employability with staff beside them.
Purpose
Why Achieve matters here
Achieve is designed to support and empower young people who need a different route to succeed in education. It helps them develop skills and experience for life, while building the confidence to realise their potential.
The King's Trust supports education partners with free session plans, free staff training, a designated contact and optional regulated qualifications. We use that flexibility so the programme fits our timetable, our cohort and each learner's personal plan.
At Evolution
How we deliver Achieve at Evolution Education
Achieve sits inside personal development and KS4 pathways. Ismail leads much of the sports and awards timetable where Achieve is scheduled. Other staff support projects through mentoring, PSHE and careers.
We choose units and topics to match the young person: career planning, money management, teamwork, community challenge, interview skills and other Achieve library themes. Progress is reviewed with the learner and their Key Adult.
Where it is right for the learner, we work towards an optional King's Trust qualification. Evidence is gathered in three assessment windows each year for Year 10 and Year 11, then checked by the teacher, sampled by Curriculum Lead and verified by King's Trust before certificates are claimed.
The certificate is valuable, but the main aim is practised skills, finished challenges and confidence that transfers into school, college, training and work.
Benefits for students

Learners can work towards regulated King's Trust qualifications where that supports their pathway.
Joined to careers
