Overcoming barriers
We understand many learners have emotional and behavioural needs coupled with a lack of academic progression. They often lack confidence; unable to trust others or develop relationships; or lack the ability to recognise and manage their emotions.
By working to a personalised learning programme with intensive behaviour management support, we aim to:
- Reduce the number of exclusions
- Improve attainment levels
- Improve attendance
- Improve behaviour
- Increase the number of young people entering work, training or education
- Raise aspirations and a stronger sense of being part of society
Through our work we also aim to:
- Develop peer mentors
- Improve family relationships
- Improve and promote positive mental health and emotional wellbeing for all.
Through the therapeutic inclusion unit we aim to provide a holistic therapeutic learning environment for young people with complex social and emotional needs.

“At Active Support, we focus on inspiring young people to get back into mainstream education and training. We work with individuals and their families in the toughest of situations, helping to turn their lives around by providing the support, skills and knowledge that they need to move forward in life. Inspiring educational achievement is at the heart of what we do. Active Support Education transforms the life chances of pupils who previously have become disaffected with education”
