Onsite beauty qualifications
Our mission is to provide inclusive, compassionate, and tailored education for children and young people who face barriers to mainstream learning. We are committed to nurturing confidence, communication, and resilience through a combination of academic support, therapeutic intervention, and emotional development.
By understanding each student’s unique needs and strengths, we aim to create a safe, engaging environment where every learner is empowered to grow, achieve, and thrive—academically, socially, and personally.
.
Offering vocational subjects, such as beauty, provides young people with practical, hands-on experiences that boost their engagement with learning and improve their overall connection to the academy.
We support academies in becoming satellite centres, enabling us to deliver VTCT-accredited qualifications to students aged 14 and above. For younger learners, our enrichment classes offer valuable opportunities to explore new skills, increase motivation, and improve attendance.
By changing the environment and creating practical, vocational pathways, students gain a sense of purpose and achievement. Research and experience show that such opportunities improve attitudes toward learning, reduce challenging behaviours, and lower the number of incidents that might otherwise result in sanctions or exclusions. Working alongside schools, we create positive alternatives that keep students engaged, supported, and on track for success.
Students will develop skills in beauty, including nails, nail art, make up, facials, skin care & media make up
