At Launch 2 Learning we work 1-2-1 with students from 5-18 who are finding mainstream education tricky for a number of different reasons. We work with the students in creative and flexible ways in order to achieve the goals set out by our commissioners. Our day is 6 hours long; giving 2x 3 hour sessions for a teacher within the day. During this session there may be a focus on one particular subject, however we often find that many other activities and learning opportunities are brought into this time. We allow our teachers the time to get to know their students and understand what will help them to learn best, empowering them with the skills and tools needed to achieve this. 

Our aim is to empower, educate, inspire, and engage our learners to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to flourish. Providing real pathways to the future that all young people deserve.
