Growing Futures Cornwall

About this provision

Growing Futures is a specialist alternative provision and mentoring provider supporting children and young people across Cornwall who need a different approach to learning. Our mission is simple: to empower every child to thrive. We believe that every young person has strengths, potential and a future worth investing in. By building trusting relationships and creating personalised programmes, we help children rediscover confidence, develop resilience and achieve meaningful outcomes. We provide bespoke one-to-one and small group support for children and young people with SEND, EHCPs, autism, ADHD, SEMH needs, emotionally based school avoidance, those awaiting school placements, and young people who have become disengaged from education. Our sessions combine education with real-life experiences, helping young people develop functional skills, independence, emotional wellbeing, social confidence and employability through engaging community-based learning. Whether that's achieving qualifications, learning practical life skills, exploring the outdoors, building confidence in social situations or preparing for adulthood, every programme is tailored to the individual. At Growing Futures, relationships come before results. We work closely with families, schools, local authorities and professionals to ensure every young person feels safe, understood and supported. Progress looks different for every child, and we celebrate every step forward. We're not just focused on helping young people access education again—we're committed to helping them build happier, more confident and more independent futures. Growing Futures – Empowering Every Child to Thrive.
