Leading Futures Education Services
Based in Wolverhampton, Leading Futures is a KS4 alternative provision that provides education services to the local community. We offer part-time placements for learners who face challenges accessing mainstream education. We specialise in supporting young people with a range of needs, including autism, emotional based school non-attendance (EBSNA), and other barriers to learning.
At Leading Futures, we offer a combination of academic and holistic programmes of study within our setting. Our learning pathways are engaging, and activities are designed to promote academic achievement, develop social skills, and emotional wellbeing. Our highly trained and experienced staff deliver a nurture-based and outcome focused approach. Staff work relentlessly to remove barriers to learning and create an inclusive and supportive environment where every learner can thrive.
Our specialism is Arts and Crafts, which we believe encourages creativity, self-expression, confidence, critical thinking and resilience. Through engaging and hands-on activities, we provide a unique platform for learners to explore their artistic talents while developing essential physical, cognitive and social skills, such as fine motor coordination, concentration, problem solving and teamwork. Through our art, we foster a culture of mindfulness, respect, understanding and collaboration, ensuring every voice is heard and valued.
