Sessions are built around each child's pace and interests, with regular progress updates for parents.

Harbour provides small, nurturing alternative provision for young people who are not thriving in mainstream school. Alongside core GCSE subjects, students take part in outdoor learning, cookery and construction skills. Every young person has a key worker and an individual plan agreed with families.

RISE matches young people with trained mentors who stick with them long-term — most mentoring relationships last over a year. Mentors focus on confidence, relationships and aspirations, working closely with schools and families. All mentors are DBS-checked and receive ongoing safeguarding training.

Growing Futures Cornwall Ltd is an independent alternative education provider supporting children and young people aged 8–25 across Cornwall. We offer personalised, relationship-led programmes for young people who may be struggling in mainstream education, have SEND, are emotionally based school avoidant (EBSA), or need a bespoke approach to learning and development. Our team works alongside families, schools, local authorities and other professionals to build confidence, develop life skills and help young people make meaningful progress towards education, employment and independent living. Relationships come first — when young people feel safe, understood and valued, they are far more likely to engage, grow in confidence and achieve positive outcomes. Empowering every child to thrive.
