Empowering Education Through Personalised Learning
At SAILs, we specialise in providing alternative education programmes tailored to re-engage learners with their education. Whether students have experienced anxiety, disengagement, or require specialist learning pathways, our holistic approach supports students, families, schools, and local authorities in guiding young people back into meaningful education.

A student-centred development process…
Our programme caters for students within statutory education who have disengaged or are unable to access their previous education setting for many reasons including:
challenging behaviours
traumatic brain injury
mental health challenges
neuro-developmental disorders
learning difficulties
disengagement in education
Students are facilitated to recognise their personal goals and aspirations, plan a pathway to succeeding and then supported to progress along their pathway.
Students we support
Challenging behaviour
We work with schools and students to provide an alternative education to exclusion.
Anxiety disorders
Our online provision facilitates students who are unable to attend their regular schooling due to a general or specific anxiety disorder.
School refusal
SAILs works with young people who refuse to attend school and their education provider to develop a programme to re-engage them with their education.
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
Some students may not be able to access a provision which is can adequately cater for their learning needs. SAILs works with students to develop a personalised education programme for students to progress in their education in consideration of their SEND.
