We provide specialist educational support for children and young people experiencing:
Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)
Severe School anxiety
Attendance difficulties
Anxiety- related barriers to education
SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs
We work alongside local authorities, schools, professionals and families to support vulnerable learners who are struggling to access mainstream education.
We understand that many children experiencing EBSA are not refusing education-they are struggling to access it safely due to overwhelming emotional distress.
Our approach focuses on:
Rebuilding trust in education
Reducing anxiety
Restoring confidence
Supporting gradual education and re-engagement
We provide a calm, nurturing and structured environment where young people can begin to reconnect with learning at a pace appropriate to their individual needs.
