Reach
About REACH
REACH is a programme designed for 8-10 Year 9 Learners.
Aims
To make an impact on changing and modifying behaviours and attitudes towards learning beyond their time at school.
To enable the learner to achieve a sense of success and pride within the curriculum offered.
To develop the learners’ social, emotional and behavioural skills.
To introduce learners to new skills and opportunities that they may not have been involved in previously.
Where is REACH?
REACH is held at the Newbury Site which is a self-contained building on Bury Street, London, N9 7JR, just off the A10.
How it works
8 weeks is the length of time that the learners will be off site attending REACH full time and then there will be a 3-4-week transition back into school depending on the term length.
During the end of the student’s time at REACH, a review will take place before the learner returns to school and BSS will give recommendations on continued support and if SEN has been identified or any other professionals needed to support this young person.
Day to Day
Monday - Friday, 8.45am -2.30pm. (See Timetable) Students take part in all lessons including Literacy, Numeracy, Handling Emotions, Classroom skills, PE and then some more creative lessons such as Art and Drama projects.
The timetable also includes weekly meetings with both parents/carers and the school link worker. Each student is assigned a mentor who would head these meetings.
We also have visits from inspiring speakers and trips off site.
