Our education work aims to give all students an equal chance to turn their potential into success. Our focus is on delivering employability education in both mainstream and SEND Schools and we work with schools across Leicester City and County. Our services support schools to achieve and evidence the Gatsby Benchmarks and meet Ofsted inspection criteria and support students to gain confidence and skills.

Lovely kids, really quite taken a back by how focussed and engaged they were. All so polite and thankful. It was an absolute pleasure to help them.
