Education Centre
The CCP Education Centre is a registered Independent School providing alternative educational opportunities for young people under 16 years old who are either at risk of exclusion from school, or who have already been excluded and are struggling to reintegrate with educational services. We run a number of programmes designed to engage hard to reach teenagers and encourage them back into full time education and society. We also provide ad hoc support for 11 - 16 year olds who temporarily have no school placement and are undertaking new work with primary aged children who have been excluded from school.

The aim with all our learners is to involve them in positive activities which are tailored to meet their individual needs and address the issues which have led to their exclusion from school. We give each child what is often their first positive learning experience, and help to build their motivation to take part and succeed. This raises their self esteem, which in turn raises performance and aspirations. Using subjects such as art, sport, exercise, cooking and conservation, we help young people understand that education can be fun and rewarding. We undertake work with them on anger management, communication, group working and rights & responsibilities. We prepare them for a return to full time school education or a progression to higher education. The Education Centre is located in a purpose-converted building in Grove Street, Cheltenham. It offers a selection of learning environments, a well equipped woodwork room, IT and Multimedia learning facilities, a full kitchen and a leisure area with a TV, video and a selection of board and video games. Academic qualifications are offered via the ASDAN route.

Getting Young People Back on Track
CCP offers a range of learning opportunities to prepare young people for a return to mainstream education and achieve up to GCSE equivalent qualifications, or, for school leavers, progression to post 16 training. We will create a bespoke package to complement any existing educational and support activities with which they are currently engaged. We work in partnership with other key individuals, agencies and parents to ensure the CCP Education Centre experience is positive, relevant and of benefit to all involved. Young people can be referred onto the programme via any route that can fund the cost of a place. Placements can range from a few hours to a full academic year.
