| For 14-19 year olds in Essex |
| Prices start at £68 per day |
| Essex Youthbuild offers very practical, hands-on training in construction skills leading to City & Guilds’ Level 1 qualifications (Award, Certificate, Extended Certificate and Diploma) in brickwork, carpentry and maintenance (wall tiling, floor tiling, plumbing, painting, guttering and plastering). Courses are roll-on/roll-off so young people can join at any time providing there is a space. Students can mix and match units from different disciplines and make up their own qualification from the modules on offer. |
| We work with small groups of young people (typically no more than six in one area) and each student receives one-to-one tuition and works at their own pace, on their own projects and modules. We also provide training in first aid, working at height awareness, and health and safety. For those who turn 16 whilst with us, there is an opportunity to prepare for the CITB Health & Safety Test and we will provide them with a CSCS card if they pass the test and gain the health and safety qualification. English and maths functional skills tuition is available on certain days of the week leading to qualifications from Entry Level 3 to Level 2. |
| Over the years, we have had many students referred to us who have been considered unlikely to achieve many or any qualifications who have gone on to succeed and achieve a City & Guilds’ Certificate through the practical assessment of their skills and knowledge. |
| We are an approved Centre for both City & Guilds and Gateway Qualifications, with direct claim status. We have our own Internal Quality Assurer and receive external quality assurance visits from both Gateway and City & Guilds annually. |
| We help young people with applications for apprenticeships and college and in 2017, 70% of our Year 11s went on to college to continue their studies. Students completing the course leave with a portfolio of evidence and a CV. |
| We are happy to work with other providers to ensure that the young person’s curriculum needs are met, including putting our training room at the disposal of other professionals working with our young people. |
| Work Experience: Increasingly, we are involving our young people in work experience projects and aim continue to send teams of young people with their instructors out into the community to complete real-life projects. Such a project recently involved the fitting and tiling of a kitchen for a newly constructed Scouts hut. Work experience has been hugely beneficial to our young people’s confidence and a great thing to put on their CV. |

Red Balloon of the Air (RBAir) provides an innovative, blended online and face-to-face academic and therapeutic programme for students aged 9-18. The common factors for our students are trauma and difficulty attending school, often rooted in bullying, anxiety or mental health issues, illness or a variety of other causes. Our provision comprises three interwoven strands of Education, Wellbeing and Community, with the aim of students’ overall recovery, reintegration and successful transition to the next stage of their lives.
Students admitted will have expressed a desire to be at Red Balloon and make progress. They commit to behaving with respect and consideration.
All RBAir students in Essex receive:
● a bespoke timetable.
● live on-line sessions with teachers, therapists and mentors.
● initial 1:1 sessions that generally develop into pair and small group learning.
● visits by a mentor.
● community visits, enrichment and group sessions based at our ‘Satellite Centre’ in a rural village setting.
● Maths, English, ICT, Science, ASDAN, work experience and further learning/engagement opportunities as appropriate depending on identified needs.
● a computer, along with induction and support provided by RBAir.
● support with transition back to school or to college.
RBAir students:
· focus on recovery, re-engagement with learning and ultimately reintegration into an appropriate mainstream school/college or training setting. A mentor supports this process and liaises with relevant professionals (e.g. at the commissioning school).
· often work towards GCSEs and/or other appropriate qualifications(timescale depending on situation).
· can take exams at a Red Balloon of the Air or other registered exam centre.

The Sea-Change Sailing Trust, based at Maldon, offers those working with hard-to-reach young people an opportunity to engage them in shared positive activity living and working together aboard a large traditional sailing vessel. This challenging, yet safe, environment provides structure and boundaries that make sense to everyday life. In a group totalling up to twelve and accompanied by support staff who understand their needs, they work watches so as to play a full part in the running of the ship on deck as well as domestic tasks. It is a week in the natural world where people who struggle in a normal classroom situation learn through activity, and gives staff the chance to review what people can achieve. For students needing high ratio support or individual attention, we can tailor a residential package for small numbers.
We also welcome students over 14 years from accompanied trips, whose needs we understand, to return independently in our Youth Sailing Scheme during school holidays, and we will discuss referrals with benefit/risk assessments for new people.

TUTE Education
Early interventions from Tute
Tute Education is a BETT award-winning service, associated with pupil premium (PP) award-winning schools. The impact of our interventions has been praised by OfSTED as an effective use of PP funding, the Welsh Government have published their recommendation of our interventions to support pupils entitled to the pupil deprivation grant.
Tute delivers the additional capacity required in schools to further personalise curriculum delivery. Pupils who are becoming disengaged or would benefit from additional support to help close gaps in attainment, can benefit from the support delivered by our small group learning online. Tute’s research based interventions and proven pedagogy can empower schools to offer a more inclusive learning environment and to overcome some of the barriers to learning faced by vulnerable and disadvantaged groups.
By enabling schools to avoid the need to send pupils off-site to receive alternative provision, Tute can also help to keep costs down:
Tute Go!
Our Tute Go! programmes deliver short sequences of lessons that focus on catch-up and intervention, enrichment and revision from Yr7 – Yr11. Lessons cost £90 each but can be shared by up to 12 learners, therefore reducing the cost to just £7.50 per pupil.
Tute on Demand
Day-to-day inclusion needs can be hard to predict. The ability to intervene quickly and remove a pupil from class can de-escalate a problem, prevent wider disruption and enable individuals to recover before they lose their focus on learning. Lessons can be booked in Tute’s on-demand timetable at an hours’ notice at a cost of £10 per seat for Yr7-Yr11.
Tute at Home
Originally established to enable parents to purchase home tuition at an affordable cost, Tute at Home has become popular with schools using PP to extend their school day for vulnerable learners. The additional support provided by our after-school lessons can enhance and consolidate learning delivered in school at a cost of £10 per seat from Yr7 – Yr11. Secure, locked devices to access education from home can also be provided.
Virtual School
For students on fixed-term exclusion or placed in internal inclusion centres, Tute’s Virtual School provides daily access to lessons with our qualified teachers. Our fixed timetable offers a choice of differentiated programmes that can help support code B attendance for pupils learning off-site and help avoid resorting to permanent exclusion. Seats cost £11 each for KS2, KS3 and KS4.
Functional Skills
Our fixed timetable of functional skills Courses in English and maths can help schools broaden their curriculum offering for students needing an alternative to GCSEs. The annual cost of a seat in a Tute Course is £995.
Concentrated Courses
Yr11 can be a stressful time for students. Those in need of a final chance to make up for time lost to absence from school and achieve essential GCSE qualifications can join our Concentrated Courses in English, maths and science. These intense Courses squeeze our standard 2yr GCSEs into one year of study. Seats cost £1,990.
Tute is the leading provider of small group, online teaching to schools, having supported over 250,000 pupils and hundreds of schools in its first two years of operation alone. We are commissioned directly by the DfE, have received positive recognition from OfSTED, are associated with Pupil Premium award winning schools and are recommended by the Welsh Government. We deliver live and interactive lessons online. Our lessons are not pre-recorded, they are delivered in real time by experienced UK qualified teachers.

TLG Chelmsford and Tendring are registered independent schools inspected by Ofsted under the common inspection framework. We aim to focus on the needs of those who are struggling in school. We engage young people on pathways to learning, addressing the individual, social and emotional learning needs of young people, whilst also developing self-esteem. We have a nurturing environment where we offer one-to-one personal development sessions; a school timetable with a range of subjects and enrichment activities.
At TLG Chelmsford we deliver Reset, TLG’s tailor-made programme. The Reset programme is specifically designed to help students reflect on past examples, consider alternatives and be empowered to act on what they have learnt and reset. The programme also challenges and helps to modify difficult behaviour, teaching young people to make appropriate choices.
Reset is a programme offered to KS3 and KS4 students as a form of early intervention where students have exhausted their opportunities in a school, but before any external move has taken place such as a managed move or short term placement at a PRU. The purpose of students’ time with us is to give the student a break from the mainstream environment and give the school a chance to look at appropriate strategies for their return. During students time with us the focus is to identify issues that cause conflict both at school and at home, work on emotional literacy and developing coping strategies to manage their behaviour.
Outline of provision offer
TLG Chelmsford offer flexible programmes of study for KS3 and KS4 pupils. These range from short, one term focused placements designed for KS3 reintegration back into mainstream to longer full time placements leading to nationally recognised qualifications. As part of a national network of independent schools we focus on the core elements of the national curriculum with English and maths lessons taught each day. The number of days a pupil attends and their curriculum offer can be tailored to suit the needs of the individual and the school.
TLG Tendring is owned and operated by Frinton Free Church
TLG Tendring is run is run as a partnership between Frinton Free Church and TLG The Education Charity, focusing on the needs of those who are struggling in school. It is one of a growing national network of schools supported by TLG
Our priority is to offer significant qualifications and life skills that can help bring about real change, equipping young people to re-engage in education.
Our core curriculum includes a clear focus on English, maths, ICT and personal, social development learning, which are accredited through Functional Skills and AIM Awards PSD, Employability and Vocational Pathway qualifications.
The KS3 Reset model is a form of early intervention which gives the pupil a break from the mainstream environment and gives the school a chance to look at appropriate strategies for their return. During the term with us the focus is to identify issues that cause conflict both at school and at home, work on emotional literacy and developing coping strategies to manage their behaviour.
All TLG Centres are working towards offering GCSE’s in English and Maths.
Single subject GCSE’s and BTECs are already part of the extended curriculum in some TLG Centres.
Along with non-accredited programmes such as TLG’s Life Leadership programme, music, media, sport and art, we are able to offer a broad curriculum that can be tailored to individual needs and interests.
Referral Process
Referrals can be made directly to the school by individual schools or by groups of schools working together. The shortest placement is for a term. A referring school is expected to pay for a terms placement but there is flexibility to swap pupils if the placement breaks down for any reason
Reporting Process
Referring schools receive automatic attendance data for their pupils each morning via email. Weekly contact with the family and referring school via email and telephone to update on progress. Referring schools receive a copy of the ILP and baseline data during the first 2 weeks of a programme that includes targets for the pupil during their time at TLG. The referring school and parents get a formal report each term to update them on progress against their targets and academic progress in the core curriculum. Both parents and referrers can request weekly behaviour reports via our electronic system.

Colchester 01206 735453
We are a 40 acre care farm based in Abberton just outside of Colchester in the heart of the Essex countryside. The farm has an award winning herd of dairy goats and uses the milk they produce to make fabulous ice cream on site. The ice cream is then sold through our farm cafe. As well as the goats we also have sheep, chickens, pigs, pygmy goats, horses and Shetland ponies. A Care Farm brings together the care of the land, environment and animals with care of people. A care farm opens its door to anyone who can benefit from being out in the countryside and enjoy taking part in the daily life of a working farm. At ‘Wellies-on’ our philosophy is…
“Tell me and I’ll forget, show me and I might remember, involve me and I’ll understand”
What are our aims?
To nurture wellbeing
We recognise the importance of connecting with the natural world in order to maintain good physical and emotional health. Co-farmers can increase their wellbeing through participation in the real and meaningful tasks involved in the everyday running of the farm.
Sow the seeds of resilience (coping skills)
We recognise that life presents many challenges and that sometimes our ability to cope is stretched. We provide a supportive environment for co-farmers to explore their own sense of identity and self-belief through one to one and small group activities. Positive risk taking is supported in a real working environment full of challenges, surprises and learning opportunities associated within this safe and stimulating care farm.
Plough the way forward
We passionately believe that everybody, regardless of their starting point, should be given the opportunity to gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to move forward in a positive direction. Co-farmers are supported to physically and emotionally develop a relationship with the land, the people and the work. This experience and the skills acquired can be taken forward into their lives beyond the farm.
Who can we work with?
Wellies-On has an inclusive approach, welcoming people from all backgrounds and with a range of skills, aspirations and abilities. Some of the groups we work with include (but are not limited to):
• People with mental health problems
• People suffering from mild to moderate depression
• Adults and children with learning disabilities and/or autism
• People with sensory disabilities
• Disaffected or disadvantaged young people and adults.
Younger co-famers must be aged 8 or over, there is however no upper age limit.
What are the potential outcomes?
For those that want to there is the opportunity to gain some accreditation. We provide City and guilds Land based studies as well as more bespoke packages through Gateway qualifications.
For some it could offer a way to reintegrate into a mainstream environment.
Progression onto City and Guilds Land based Animal Studies (At Butterfly Lodge).
Sign posting onto other alternative or relevant provision.
For some it could offer a way into volunteering / further work experience within their local community.
It could perhaps be a stepping stone for some onto further learning or to build confidence in their own educational setting. It can also help individuals gain skills to participate in other outside opportunities and activities.
Courses / Sessions currently on offer;
City and Guilds Land Based Studies (Animal Care) for ages 14-16. Currently running on Thursday
Working Party – get involved with the everyday running of the farm! For ages 11 – 16 (Optional accreditation available through Gateway Qualifications). Currently running on Monday and Tuesday.

Farming and nature for a sustainable future

Our use of nature and the outdoors enhances these outcomes in the form of increased resilience, self-esteem and social skills.
