Edu-Action North Somerset

Edu-Action provides learning and enrichment opportunities that work towards recognised ASDAN or NCFE accreditation for students with a range of additional needs. We do this by focusing education on projects that encompass literacy, numeracy, and communication. Our focus is to reintegrate students in mainstream or specialist full time education. We provide all transport and food.

We have a Learning Centre in the Weston with a kitchen, construction/building/mechanic area, classroom, kinaesthetic play room and barber/salon area.

Edu-Action employ’s subject specialists that support students on a one-to-one basis. We have a Mechanic, Carpenter, Plasterer, Chef, Hairdresser/Barber or Make-up instructor and an Arts and Crafts specialist.  Working with our tutors provides practical experience linked to their chosen ASDAN qualification.

Each student is assigned a mentor that has shared life experiences and an understanding of their needs and capabilities. Mentors focus on Social Emotional and Mental Health development. This is achieved by building relationships, trust and actively encouraging attendance by planning worthwhile sessions. Mentors establish boundaries and expectations by always modelling correct behaviour choices.

We can support students that are at risk of permanent exclusion or have missed long periods of schooling. Edu-Action also fills the gap between exclusion and finding another suitable full time educational provision. We also work towards targets highlighted on EHCP’s.
