catch22 multi academies trust

London

A social business Catch22 provides young people aged 4-18 with alternative and special education in order for them to progress and succeed in sustained education or employment. We do this through high quality teaching and learning based on effective relationships that enable the achievement of life skills and meaningful qualifications. Catch22 was approved as an Academy Sponsor by the Department for Education (DfE) in February 2014 and became the sponsor of our first Academy, The Ashwood Academy in Hampshire, in September 2014. The Catch22 Multi Academies Trust is the vehicle for our sponsorship of a number of academies focusing on learners who can benefit from small, supportive alternative and special education provision. Academy sponsorship is about using partnerships to provide specific expertise and skills to enhance standards. Catch22, with our existing wide experience of alternative and special education provision, brings a focus on academic and behavioural improvement leading to re-integration back to mainstream provision up to Key Stage 3, infrastructure support, improvement to pastoral provision and greater focus on preparing young people for the world of work. We look to increase access to one to one and mentoring opportunities through a mixture of off-site and extra curricular events in order to improve the self-esteem and self-confidence of

the queen katherine school

The vision of The Queen Katherine School is that all students are supported and stretched to reach their potential and leave as happy, well-rounded individuals with the knowledge, qualifications and skills they need for the next stage in their lives. We provide learning opportunities that stimulate, engage and encourage students to be resilient and have high aspirations for themselves. Combined with subject knowledge and skills, our ‘Whole Child’ curriculum empowers students with the life skills and attributes needed to live happy lives and with the confidence to open any door. Every child is celebrated; recognition is not just reserved for the winners of prestigious competitions but also the quiet, unassuming determination of those who persevere and overcome personal difficulties. Our Proud to Belong culture flows through the lens of our House system, where students’ sense of camaraderie and belonging is nurtured as students in all year groups come together to support their House. Students also take on individual leadership roles within the school community. Student voice is represented through our School Council and Senior Students. We also have a number of students from each year group who are Anti-bullying Ambassadors; these volunteers are trained to identify and report unpleasant behaviour and support their peers.

awesome walls, stoke

5LW,

It’s great fun! Both physically and mentally challenging and a great adrenaline rush. It’s social. Climbers usually work in pairs – one person belaying (holding the rope) which means you are never alone. Climbers love to offer beta (advice) or encouragement. You can rock climb all year. With indoor climbing, it doesn’t matter what the weather’s doing. It is inexpensive. You can hire equipment very cheaply until you know you are hooked and with pay monthly, climbing is great value. There is a brilliant sense of accomplishment every time you climb. There is something incredibly satisfying about physically making your way to the top. Climbing is great exercise, you can burn up to 900 calories per hour! It teaches life skills – teamwork, problem-solving, exercise, courage and conviction. Climbing is never boring. There are so many routes on the walls, with a variety of challenges and these routes are changed regularly. It will make you a better version of yourself, challenge yourself every time you climb and learn important skills. It opens your life to awesome experiences. As you progress you may find the urge to climb outdoors where you can encounter breathtaking scenery and a wilderness adventure most people will never know.

ocean youth trust north

North Shields

Ocean Youth Trust North is a charity specialising in the personal development of young people and adults through the unique medium of ocean sailing. We offer a safe but exhilarating residential experience that changes lives and inspires futures. Through sailing we help young people and adults, irrespective of their background, escape the difficulties that they face at home. They acquire a range of life skills learnt while working as a team and rising to the challenge of the sea. We have sailed with a huge range of organisations, including schools, youth groups, local authority programmes and disability organisations. Participants in our programme learn to overcome personal fears and obstacles and go on to shape a brighter future for themselves and their community. “Sail training requires participants to confront many demanding challenges, both physical and emotional. It is an activity that inspires self-confidence and the acceptance of personal responsibility, promotes an acceptance of others whatever their social or cultural backgrounds, and develops a willingness to take controlled risks. For most who undertake sail training on Tall Ships it is a positive life-changing experience.” Sail Training International

stedy chefs learning centre

Liverpool

We are a cookery school for disabled adults 18 plus. At StedyChefs we teach all about the joy and fun to be had whilst cooking ,not only helping improve life skills but building self confidence and making friends along the way. Our whole building is covered in fun graffiti, our chefs wear a full uniform and different coloured bandanas making their time here as fun as possible. We also teach other activities such as art and music, the Beatles actually played in our building in 1961. Our chefs cook everything from scratch and not only this, they grow their own vegetables in our outside space as well as doing outside cooking in warmer months. Our chefs do food related trips also once every six weeks. Some of our chefs volunteer and in the past have worked in local cafes and football stadiums. Our youngest student is 18 and our eldest is 63 years old. The food our chefs create on a daily basis can only be described as phenomenal. We are also part of the International Cookery School Association (School Of Excellence) We also teach our students health and safety in the kitchen. We recently had Merseyside Fire Brigade in our centre to deliver a lesson on hazards that may occur in a kitchen and how to handle them safely. Merseyside Police have also attended our centre to deliver on a lesson on how to stay safe when using the internet. In January of this year, seven of our students gained their Level 2 Food Safety and Hygiene In The Kitchen qualification. It took us over a year of visually and verbally training our students in preparation for their test. As they passed, they are now able to legally work in a professional kitchen environment. One of the students is now actively looking for paid work in the catering sector using his newly acquired qualification. We have also partnered with The Trussell Trust and are now running a food bank from or building with the help of our wonderful students.
