It has changed my life so much I can’t really put it into words, the choices I’ve made in my life I wouldn’t of been able to complete without the involvement with King’s Reach…

My whole life turned around there mate, the best thing that happened to me was being at that school – the teachers understood me… They really helped me to get a job, taught me people skills and respect….. At my old school the reports basically said “you’re a little s**t”, so I would behave like one…

Staff

 

My favourite part of my job has to be seeing the lads again after the holidays.  The things they say make me laugh. We have genuine bonds and positive relationships.

The best thing is when students turn their lives around; when we can help them to see a future worth working for. This enables us to help them along the road to the life they want for themselves.

We have been impressed with the prompt response to our referral request; your desire to find out as much as possible to determine the most appropriate support to give him, and the way you have kept in close liaison with us to inform us of his progress. You have shown excellent understanding of the complex needs that our student has, and we are pleased with the personalised programme of support which you have put together to address his needs… It is refreshing to see an organisation so committed to ensure smooth and appropriate transition at programme end.
