A programme designed for children who need a lot more support within a setting. This programme runs on a Monday and a Thursday at The Hub in Hathern and our Haven site in Shepshed. It delivers a child interest led curriculum with enrichment activities that push the learning from outside the home setting, but within a homely environment. 

We offer AQA Unit Awards, Art Awards and Open Awards alongside our Primary and Key stage 3 curriculum to ensure that our learners have access to a broad range of educational options. We design all our lessons to be accessible, fun and engaging ensuring a relevant and diverse offer that is inclusive and retains links to the education delivered in schools.

A tailored programme for children who are advancing in their educational journey but still benefit from additional support. Learners will work towards recognised qualifications such as AQA Unit Awards, Open Awards or Arts Awards, while also studying the core subjects – Maths, English & PSHE, as a standard part of the programme. Depending on each child’s individual needs, we will support them in working towards either GCSEs or Functional Skills. This programme runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with learners able to attend up to two days per week at either our Hathern or Shepshed site. 

We are an approved NCFE exam centre delivering NCFE courses in a range of subjects including functional skills Maths and English. 

We have a successful pass rate and teach and assess at Entry Level through to Level 2.

We offer bespoke pathways and exam packages to learners that may not be able to attend our provision. Please enquire for more details and funding options.

We have qualified teachers to teach and support learners that are working towards GCSE. We work closely with schools to ensure that we are delivering teaching on the same texts in English and develop the skills required to pass exams. 

We create groupings that enable us to target those learners that are following a GCSE pathway and focus their education at this level. 

Additionally, we deliver core subject key skills in all of our secondary level teaching to ensure that learners are given the best chance to attain the qualifications that will enable them to progress.

As part of our Horizons 16+ offer we support all our learners through a range of different qualifications to peak their interests. By integrating Open Awards, AQA qualifications, and Art Awards, we tailor the learning package to meet the unique needs of our students, fostering their confidence, independence and future aspirations.

The focus is not just on academic achievement but also on emotional growth, self-confidence and skills for independent living. This holistic approach lays the foundation for brighter, more fulfilling futures.
