We are passionate about providing our students with the opportunity to gain real-life experiences, awards, qualifications and achieve success. Our approach focuses on building meaningful relationships with young people, which serve as the foundation for promoting self-esteem and confidence. In a society where young people face numerous challenges in life and education, we create a supportive environment that offers structure and guidance in their daily lives. We offer a wide range of learning opportunities, but our primary aim is to ignite a passion that helps lead to a happy, healthy life, particularly as they transition into adulthood.
Our support is tailored to foster a keen interest in sport and health-related activities, stimulating engagement and nurturing personal growth. As many young people struggle with their engagement in education, we align our offer with our young people’s sporting interests, ensuring they receive recognition for their learning throughout the process.
At Stepping Stones, our young people participate in physical activities daily, which contribute to improved mental health and well-being, promote positivity, and enhance self-esteem and confidence. We provide the structure and consistency that some young people need to progress while allowing them to take ownership of their learning pathway in relation to the sports awards they can achieve. We are committed to tailoring our approach to improve engagement and foster a positive learning experience for each individual.
