Information for parents & carers
When a child is struggling at school, it’s difficult for the whole family. We are here to give all young people the opportunity to thrive through practical training.
Find out how we can help your child achieve success and how to enrol them.
A different type of learning
Not everyone learns the same way, and that’s more than okay. Classrooms aren’t for everyone, and we’ve seen time and time again that people can truly thrive when they learn through hands-on, practical experience.
Our vocational training courses help students build confidence and learn in a way that interests them. We can help them get back to mainstream education or find a new direction that suits them.
We tailor the course to the students individual needs and abilities allowing them to compete the course at their own pace.
We’re here to support your child in every step of their journey.
What an excellent plastering course. A no nonsense get on with it course. Constant hands on practice producing the right result and building confidence to go forward. Superb mentoring and coaching from very experienced plasterers. Highly recommended.

About the Academy
The Academy features a variety of spaces to learn construction, mechanics and hair and beauty with more courses planned for the future.
Our kitchen provides free breakfast and lunch and gives the students a place to hang out and socialise.
We also offer a gym that the students can use at the end of the day to exercise and blow of some steam.
We keep class sizes small with a maximum of 12 students. By keeping classes at these numbers, we can provide students with an opportunity to maximise your learning.
