About Eclipse Education ALP
“Education is the movement from darkness into light.” - Allan Bloom
Our mission
At Eclipse Education we strongly believe that Every Child Matters and every child deserves the opportunity to be the best version of themselves. We believe in equity of education for all young people.
Eclipse Education is an alternative education provider in BANES. We deliver bespoke learning packages from KS2 to post 16, that meet the individual needs of each of our young people academically, socially and emotionally.
We aim to be both a place of safety for students and an environment where students are able to learn effectively. This will empower them to to make great life choices and enjoy success in the future.
What we do?
All students will have a bespoke package designed for them with their talents, gaps in learning and individual needs in mind.
Everyone will have;
- a mixture of core / booster classes in English (Reading and Writing), Maths and Science,
- a wider curriculum in subjects that interest the young person,
- some holistic and therapeutic including ELSA, Music Therapy and Art Therapy
- an enrichment package which is designed to develop ‘soft-skills’ such as problem solving, teambuilding and resilience.
We also deliver a robust Personal Social Health Education curriculum which covers the main strands of health and wellbeing, economic wellbeing, relationships and living independently.
We are an approved NCFE centre and will be delivering Functional Skills assessments (Entry Level to Level 2) in English and Maths. Every student will complete an initial assessment which will diagnose which level they should be working towards, identifying the gaps in their knowledge that allows the teaching they receive at Eclipse to be tailored to filling them; in preparation for sitting online tests when they are ready.
Every young person also receives careers guidance from an experienced Careers teacher or Careers Advisor.
Our art teacher delivers sessions that not only engage young people but allows them to express themselves through healthy mediums (and also gain a qualification!)
We also organise and support ‘work shadowing’ placements and volunteering to help young people consider their options as well as experiencing the ‘real world.’
