We work with young people to build a foundation of strong, respectful and positive relationships; promote emotional regulation and then once the groundwork is in place we can look at reigniting young people’s passion for learning through interest-based, thematic learning.

A fresh approach to Alternative Education

Our ‘Pathway to Success’ model underpins out Alternative Education provision. We work closely with young people aged 6-18 years old, many effected with Emotional Based School Avoidance (EBSA); Social, Emotional and Mental Health issues (SEMH); and Special Educational Needs (SEN), to reengage and reignite their love of learning.

Founder and MD at Keane Futures

“Seeing young people who were once withdrawn, dysregulated and disengaged - socialising, regulated and reengaged in learning is the reason I do what I do.

Over the years I’ve built a trusted team of tutors, teachers, educators and mentors who share that same passion.”
