: INSPIRE & ACHIEVE

Red IAF Leaf

Team up and achieve with The King's Trust Achieve programme. These group sessions provide a dynamic, learner-led experience for ~10 students per class. With 15 guided learning hours per week, our learners co-design their educational journey around personal interests, choosing from modules such as Personal Development, Teamwork, Digital Skills, Career Planning, and more. This approach fosters autonomy, creativity, and practical learning to help you engage more deeply while developing vital life and employability skills. 

 

​Our provision is structured around five core themes which are scheduled over the course of a week. Each day offers our learners an opportunity to explore these themes in greater detail, as we develop new skills and reflect on how these categories can be applied to real world scenarios.
