Features

Home Pick-Ups and Drop-Offs

We recognise that getting to and from college can be a barrier for some young people. We feel it is important that we offer our home pick-up and drop-off service to address this need. This crucial support is offered by our youth workers and tutors, to minimise travel anxiety.

Enrichment Activities

At Really NEET we place huge value on our enrichment activities to improve learner experience and self-confidence. Activities can include quad-biking, rock-climbing, bowling, football and experience days at zoos amongst other things. They are learner led, meaning that our learners decide what activities they undertake.

Residential

Learners will have an opportunity to take part in a 2-day residential at the end of the year. This is a night away from home to experience team-building activities and challenges that help to build confidence and resilience. Some learners opt out of this experience because it can feel overwhelming to be away from home. Whatever the decision, there is complete understanding, but the opportunity is offered to everyone to allow learners the option.

Lunches

Daily lunches are ordered locally, with both hot and cold options available. There is always access to toast, cereal, fruit and other refreshments throughout the day.

Alternative Assessment Lead and SEND Lead

Emma ensures that all special educational needs are met, and she will support students in their annual reviews and PEP’s

My name is Emma and I have 12 years of experience as a SENCO in secondary education, supporting young people with Special educational needs to get the support they need to thrive. I have witnessed the frustration of young people who struggle with the demands that education places on them, with little or no adaptation for their needs. For the last 18 months I have been undertaking a research project, testing the impact of immersive online story-based English and Maths assessments as an alternative to traditional assessments.

Our assessments combine the principles of gaming, escape rooms and story-based assessment to create an engaging experience that reduces the anxiety of an exam environment. We have made assessments that adapt to the needs of those with SEND, so that they feel like they can succeed and that they are not ‘different’ just unapologetically themselves.
