EAP Extend Update

We are delighted to announce two major milestones in our continued commitment to delivering high‑quality vocational education and specialist alternative provision for young people.

🚀 EAP Extend Launched September 2025

Following extensive development and strong demand from partner schools and families, our EAP Extend programme was officially launched in September 2025.

EAP Extend has been designed to:

• Provide expanded support and progression routes for Key Stage 3 & 4 learners.
• Offer personalised pathways across practical, therapeutic, and academic strands
• Strengthen transition options into further education, apprenticeships, and workplace training

This new extension of our Educational Access Provision reflects our mission to meet the diverse needs of young people and ensure every learner can thrive in an environment that is supportive, engaging, and future‑focused.

🌲 Record Success in Construction & Forestry Programmes

Our Build Construction and Forestry Programmes have exceeded all expectations since its introduction. Due to exceptional demand—and with current enrolment now at full capacity—we are proud to confirm the opening of a second Build Land‑Based Forestry Provision on 16th March 2026.

This expansion will allow us to:

• Increase training capacity for students seeking hands‑on, industry‑relevant skills
• Broaden opportunities in construction, forestry, woodland management, and land‑based careers
• Continue working closely with local employers to develop skill‑ready young people who are prepared for real‑world work
• Support more learners than ever in accessing high-quality outdoor and vocational learning

The success of the programme is a testament to both our students’ dedication and the expertise of our tutors and partner organisations. We are excited to grow this provision further and continue supporting learners into thriving careers.

Looking Ahead

These developments mark an exciting time of growth for our organisation. With the launch of EAP Extend and the expansion of our construction and forestry pathways, we remain committed to offering innovative, life‑changing opportunities for young people across the region.

More updates will be shared in the coming weeks as we prepare & launch the new Build Land-based Forestry provision.
