ElevatEd Programme
Personalised programmes are designed to empower young people, providing them with the skills and tools to develop resilience and confidence, ultimately enabling them to thrive in the wider world. At ElevatEd, we're fully committed to working in partnership with schools and organisations to improve attendance and transform the lives of the young people we work with, and their families.
Each placement runs as a structured 12-week programme, with a different theme each week built around our five pillars. Core subjects Maths, English, Science and PSHE are delivered against the National Curriculum, with literacy and numeracy woven practically through every pillar, not just classroom-based sessions. Alongside this, pupils take part in a varied weekly timetable of movement and sport, including yoga and boxing, and are guided through the AQA Unit Award Scheme and Arts Award programme, as well as Duke of Edinburgh Award components in preparation for Bronze and Silver.
Student Wellbeing & Outcomes
Driven by each pupil's strengths and interests, and shaped by their initial assessment, every pupil works towards 3–5 clear, achievable targets, set at the start of their placement and referred back to throughout. Progress is tracked through structured modules with defined outcomes, and a full summary is shared with the referring school at the end of placement. Along the way, pupils can work towards certificates, leadership opportunities, and work experience with real industry insight.
Wellbeing at ElevatEd covers the mental, physical, and social not just one or the other. Alongside our core programme, pupils take part in cooked lunches, food growing, and time on the allotment, building practical, everyday life skills like cooking alongside their academic and personal development.

One to one and throughout the space
At ElevatEd, an experienced therapist is on site once a week, working one-to-one with students to support them through their journey with us. This support doesn't stand alone, a therapeutic thread runs throughout our programmes and workshops, woven into daily interactions, our ElevatEd pillars, and the activities pupils take part in, helping them stay connected to themselves and to others.
How We Work
ElevatEd Assessment System
“Utilising the ElevatEd Assessment System (based on the safeguarding and promoting safeguarding framework) we assess the individual needs of each child and create an action plan including setting realistic and achievable targets which are monitored, reviewed and used to support the young person’s journey with us. Through the assessment process we are also able to create supportive pathways within the community to support the young person’s transition back into the school setting.
Strong policies and established relationships mean communication stays seamless throughout every placement schools and families always know how a young person is getting on. We take accountability seriously at every level, actively encouraging and supporting attendance rather than simply recording it.
We also offer workshops covering wellbeing, relationships, online safety, careers advice, and signposting to legal and citizenship support for students, staff and parents.
