What We Offer

At Renew Education, we provide a high-impact alternative provision for young people aged 7–16 who need a fresh approach to learning.

Our Futures’ Pathway offers a programme which blends academic support, vocational training, positive role models and mentorship, and enrichment experiences. The pathways will be implemented in a  bespoke fashion according to individual needs, but each are detailed below: Pathway 1: Personal Growth – building relationships and confidence through mentoring and other work.
