We make sure every young person is given one to one support. This support is where clear goals can be made enabling individuals to review their progress and take a lead in their own learning. Ownership is integral to learning and is also encouraging for young people to become a positive force for others to say ‘you can do it!’

“Last year students had a face-to-face master class with Benjamin Clifford the Founder and Director of ‘Surf-ability’. This led to students coming up with the enterprising idea of releasing their own single to raise money for RNLI. Students marketed their own song through an online music site that enabled the single to be purchased and downloaded on to iTunes. ”
