Achievements
In May 2008, we were delighted to be accepted as one of the first inaugural organisations to become a Key Stage 4 Alternative Provider with Hertfordshire County Council.

In a nutshell
Our uniqueness is our versatility and ability to be able to adapt a programme to fit into anyone’s curriculum or specific requirements, Mon – Fri, 52 weeks a year (regardless of term times and summer holidays). We can range from a one day event to a 6-week summer long programme to accommodate young people who would benefit from our extensive range of activities and workshops, to mention just a few below;
Residential weeks, Go-Karting, Food Hygiene Certificates, Herts Fire and Rescue Service activity days, Football Stadium Tours, Anger Management Workshops, Crime and Prevention Workshops, Sports Coaching, Money Matters Workshops, Hair and Fashion, Bullying Workshops, Community Projects, Work Experience, First Aid Certificates, Self-Defence, and many more.
