After time at our provision, with the support of our great teachers and skilled youth workers, most students reintegrate back into their mainstream school successfully. Some of the students that attend Chances are working below the expected level and this has created an exciting opportunity to support them with additional intervention outside of the classroom.

★ Resilience
★ Respect
