Helping Young People Thrive Beyond the Classroom
We provide bespoke Alternative Provision, mentoring, therapeutic support and personalised learning programmes for children and young people who need an educational approach that is different from mainstream settings. Through positive relationships, meaningful experiences and individualised pathways, we help young people rebuild confidence, develop life skills and achieve their full potential.
Because every young person deserves the chance to spread their wings.
Welcome to Wings 4 Growth
Every young person’s journey is unique.
Some young people struggle in traditional educational environments due to social, emotional, mental health, behavioural or additional learning needs. Others may experience anxiety, school avoidance, trauma, exclusion, or circumstances that make mainstream education difficult to access.
At Wings 4 Growth, we create safe, nurturing and inspiring learning experiences that place the young person at the centre of everything we do. Our personalised approach enables learners to reconnect with education, develop resilience and discover pathways towards positive futures. This reflects the learner-centred, bespoke approach widely adopted across successful alternative provision settings.
The Young People We Support
We work with children and young people from the ages of 5-25 who may benefit from additional support, including:
SEND
Special Educational Needs & Disabilities
SEMH
Social, Emotional and Mental Health
EBSA
Emotionally Based School Avoidance
Post- 16
and Preparation for Adulthood
Our Approach
At Wings 4 Growth, we recognise that there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution.
Our programmes are designed around the individual, taking into account their educational needs, interests, aspirations and personal circumstances.
We work collaboratively with:
Young people
Families and carers
Schools
Local authorities
Social care professionals
Health and therapeutic services
Together, we create personalised pathways that support both immediate needs and long-term goals. This collaborative, bespoke model reflects established practice within effective alternative provision and post-16 SEND settings.
Parent's Feedback
Wings 4 Growth has been absolutely amazing with X and we are extremely happy with how welcome they have made X feel.
We are very happy with everything so far. He is enthusiastic to attend, enjoys all activities and music time is a real bonus. Mum and I are very happy to see him content and taking part.
X is really enjoying her sessions with Kate and feels comfortable to be herself around her already which is great.
X’s experience has been positive, and I appreciate the effort Wings4Growth puts in to supporting his individual needs.
We feel reassured knowing our child is in a place where they are understood and supported. X appears happy and comfortable with his mentor, enjoys going to the provision and is calm and settled with consistent routines.
X’s really enjoying his time with Wings4Growth and likes all the staff.
Kate, our lovely mentor, is doing an incredible job with X. Kate is supportive, understanding, respectful, kind and puts X first in all aspects. Whether that’s life skills, going out in the community, cooking, arts and crafts etc. X enjoys to just talk with Kate sometimes, to which Kate listens. Thank you for all Kate has done and still continues to do. She goes above and beyond and we are very lucky to have her.
Wings 4 Growth has turned X’s life around. He felt he had no purpose in life as all other learning opportunities were never offered and since going here, he has improved in his self-confidence incredibly and has a purpose to get up in the morning now. He enjoys coming and is very grateful he was given the chance. The fact there are facilities for DJing is amazing for X as he enjoys music so much and he has the chance to learn doing something he loves.
