The Reconnect Education Project CIC
Description
Reconnect help young people at risk of exclusion to flourish in mainstream schools.
They coach at risk young people in schools in Sheffield, addressing the root causes of exclusion while enhancing wellbeing and resilience. Their approach is innovative: coaches live locally and understand the issues young people face and, unlike most interventions, they provide intensive coaching support daily for up to 3.5 years to create lasting change. This approach works, with zero permanent exclusions since their programme began. As school suspensions and exclusions rise post-Covid, there is a growing need for alternative provision within mainstream schools. Reconnect offers a proven solution including training for teachers, that other schools would like to replicate.
The Fore funding will give the leadership capacity to scale their model with the potential to become a national leader in inclusive education.
