Our approach

One starfish at a time

We believe meaningful change begins when a young person feels safe, seen and understood. Our small, structured sessions combine academic learning, life skills and emotional support. We work alongside families, schools, local authorities and other professionals to agree realistic goals, monitor progress and plan each learner’s next step.

Working together around each young person

We work in partnership with families, schools, local authorities and other professionals, with shared goals, regular communication and coordinated support centred around each young person.

Support shaped around the individual

We support young people whose needs may include social, emotional and mental health difficulties, emotionally based school avoidance, persistent non-attendance, anxiety, trauma or attachment-related needs. We also support learners whose behaviour may communicate an unmet need, or who are at risk of suspension, exclusion or further disengagement from education.
