Complex transitions
Complex Transitions
We support children, and their families, to navigate complex transitions between different phases of education.
Complex transitions
We support children, and their families, who may be experiencing particularly difficult transitions between different phases of education and into adulthood. This includes children who experience trauma or sudden disengagement with education, challenging behaviour, truancy and exclusion. Most of the children we work with have, at some point in their studies, been working well below their age related expectations. We work with children, and their families, to build aspiration, generate progress towards agreed educational outcomes and in the process capacity build coping mechanisms and co-create resolutions to barriers to engagement.
Developmental relationships.
Many children feel like education is something that is done to them rather than a choice they make. We find that children often express that feeling in terms of difficult relationships with teachers or other authority figures, or relationship churn.
We co-create a highly developmental environment where children experience care, are supported to meet the challenges of growth, have power to decide, collectively, what they do and how they do it, and work on things that matter to them.
We still work on an academic curriculum and use specialised techniques to align that content to children's world view. That includes working with children to better access curricular and non-curricular content, developing hobbies and interests, making time for socialising with peers, family activities and having fun.
