Schools & Education

At Blessed our 'Schools' have been established to assist you as a young student to reach your learning potential and achieve your goals. The classes are small (maximum of 10 students) and are designed to complement school work in conjunction with the national curriculum.

Daytime

Full or Part time school from year 7 to 11

Small classes studying a broad balanced curriculum. Our success is achieved by small class sizes in a safe environment where we build trust and the students develop a good self esteem and confidence. We also recruit excellent and well experienced teachers who are passionate about their subjects and are able to positively impact the students.

Alternative Education

Specially tailored tuition for some children who may not accelerate at the same pace as their counterparts: due to English being their second language, children who have behavioural challenges or SEN.
 
Whatever the reason, we aim to meet that need and bridge the gap where mainstream schools have been unable to do so.
 
Our experienced tutors and trained teachers can offer:
 
• Small groups
• One-to-one attention
• Home tuition
business training

H&SC

Throughout the year we try to have guest lecturers to come into class and provide an insight into working in the health and social care sector. The students were also able to visit local Health and Social Care providers including a care home and a local nursery which enabled them to complete their controlled assessments. We will also invite visitors into lessons including pharmacists, care workers, midwife etc. and also people who deliver apprenticeship talks.
