the journey

individual needs

Young people thrive and achieve more when they have ownership of their work and their learning. Get Sorted firmly believes in personalised, individual learning. We know that young people will reach their full potential when they have their individual needs met. This can include education as well as pastoral care and support.

life skills

Young people need basic life skills. We offer a range of challenges around cooking and baking, healthy eating, budgeting, shopping, applying for jobs/college, filling forms in, hygiene, drug and alcohol abuse awareness, world of work etc. We want our young people to achieve and to move forward and to feel part of society.

basic education

Maths and English is compulsory for all our Sheddies. They work at their own pace and when they feel confident, they take an on line test so they can achieve their maths and English accreditation. Other forms of education are hidden within the challenges so they are learning and developing their skills and knowledge in an informal way.

accredited learning

We offer a wide range of accredited courses. These include Asdan awards, ALAN tests, AQA awards, NCFE and NOCN. Within these awards are a wide range of choices they can make depending on what their interests and hobbies are. We want young people to make their own choices and have ownership of their learning.

the future

In their final school year, young people can be supported in making their career choices. We can help them with college applications, interviewing techniques, helping them to find work and filling in job applications. For those who do not feel ready to move on, we offer our Stepping Stones programme so that young people who are still hesitant about taking the next step can continue at Get Sorted until they feel ready to move on. For those who have moved on and things may not have worked out as well as they had hoped, the option to return is always available.
