The Box Education Centre

The Box provides a programme of alternative education for students aged between 14 and 16 years in Year 10 and 11.

The programme provides learning in a more informal setting for students who find it hard to learn in the structured environment of school and to allow these students to achieve in a range of accredited courses.

The programme covers two years and is taught in two half day sessions a week, running alongside an extended work experience placement and possibly a college place. Learning takes place in an informal environment and with a staff-to-student ratio of at least one-to-two, and often one-to-one. We offer appropriate qualifications and accreditation suitable for those of all levels with a short attention span and poor concentration.

Students are accepted on to the programme on a referral basis only and are usually referred by their school, but self-referral is possible in the case of students not on roll at any school.

Alongside a wide and varied programme of activities and opportunities, students will be given the opportunity to learn and achieve in many different areas.
