We provide specialist support to help improve outcomes for disadvantaged and vulnerable learners.

We support children and young people with full statements of SEND or EHCPs through to minority groups, disadvantaged learners and those who may need to 'catch up'.

Our bespoke services help schools and settings to identify and address individual pupil’s learning needs effectively and identify priority areas for development. We provide practical support, training and targeted strategies across all key stages of education.
