“I have noticed a real improvement in self-esteem and confidence in this particular young person. I think this project is excellent for engaging young people and helping them to integrate back into mainstream.”

Girls Group

An alternative provision project aimed at KS4 students (speak to us about younger students).
What's involved?

This project runs specifically for girls. Students arrive and have time to relax, taking part in reflective and interactive activities and crafts, whilst enjoying a welcome drink and pastry. This is followed by a more structured activity, then a session where students explore all elements of self image and positive friendships and relationships. After lunch, the girls experience a pampering session in the afternoon. Some examples would be face masks, bath bomb making, tie dye and trips out such as ice-skating, paint a pot, walk and talk and visiting organisations. The purpose is the same – to help these girls to develop their self-esteem and grow in confidence in who they are.

Girls develop a portfolio of work with the opportunity to gain a Level 2 Award in Personal and Social Development Skills through AIM Awards if they complete all the required elements. This will require remaining on the project for at least two terms.
