How to get in touch with our team
When young people leave school with few aspirations and fewer qualifications it doesn’t just impact on their life chances; it’s a huge problem for the school, for local communities and society as a whole.
Our alternative curriculum and re-engagement programmes work with pupils that are identified as being most at risk of leaving school with few qualifications and becoming NEET (Not in Education Employment or Training). By targeting young people before they drop out of the system we can raise their self-esteem and help to realise their potential.
Groundwork South Yorkshire use the environment to help re-engage disaffected pupils with education - both within the school grounds and outside of the usual educational system, in a safe and supportive learning environment. Young people are able to actively engage in the learning process, while working towards nationally recognised qualifications, and so improve their chances for future employment.
Through Groundwork alternative curriculum programmes, young people can change from a path of negativity and risk, to one of hope, respect and positive direction.
