Creative & Vocational Learning
How Sessions work
The Lodge provides part time, one to one learning sessions for young people aged 11 to 18 with SEND and SEMH needs. Learners remain on roll with their school or educational setting while attending sessions at The Lodge as part of an agreed package of support. Every placement is tailored to individual learner’s needs, strengths and goals.
Who We Work With
Many of the young people who attend The Lodge have found traditional education environments difficult to engage with. Some may experience anxiety, low confidence, sensory differences or challenges with engagement. We provide a calm nurturing space where young people can feel safe, experience success and rediscover their strengths. Our focus is on building positive relationships, creating meaningful learning experiences and helping each learner move forward at a pace that feels right for them.
