OUTCOME FOCUSED
Some schools want something more than ‘single session’ visits to our site. We can offer a number of bespoke solutions for educational establishments such as Alternative Provisions and other specialist support programmes. You may want regular interventions or you might have a group with targeted outcomes. Whatever the need we are able to provide a solution at an affordable price. Have a look at some of the examples below but please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you require something out of the ordinary.
