The aim is for pupils to move back into a long term education setting as quickly as possible so they can build a new bond with that community. Total number at any one time is 10. The aim is to have a quick turn around with pupils moving on to long term placements and our support being available to new pupils.

You will be supporting students on a full time basis 08:30 – 15:30 5 days a week. You will be supporting 1:1 engaging the students in their work by going through worksheets in their main subjects of; MATHS, ENGLISH, SCIENCE & ART.
