Welcome to Renew Education
At Renew Education, we offer a personalised alternative provision for young people aged 7–16 who need a fresh start.
Based in Bridgwater, we combine academic support, vocational experiences, and mentoring to help every learner reset, rebuild, and re-engage with education in a way that works for them.
Our Mission
At Renew Education, we exist to create transformational opportunities for young people who need something different.
We deliver inspiring, alternative provision rooted in community, connection, and possibility — combining academic support, vocational skills, and positive role models and mentorship.
Our goal is simple:
To help every child feel seen, supported, and capable of building a better future.
To provide a safe, inspiring, and inclusive learning environment that helps young people rediscover their potential, grow in confidence, and transition into education, training or employment with hope and purpose.
