Learning difficulties, emotional difficulties, challenging behaviour or just sheer bad luck and circumstances: there are many reasons why students may have fallen behind at school. Our Foundation Plus team has many years’ experience of successfully helping these students to open new doors and give themselves much better opportunities in life.

We have a range of programmes designed to cater for a wide range of students, with a high level of support that ensures each individual is given a learning experience appropriate to their needs. Our students have an excellent record of progressing, and almost all go on to mainstream College courses or an advanced level of study.
