SB Mentoring is an alternative provision and specialist S.E.M.H. & A.D.H.D. provider based in Calne, Wiltshire for 11-16yrs.
Through our inreach and outreach programmes, SB Mentoring helps those young people who are at risk of or have received exclusions. We work with the schools, pupils, and parents to help sustain their place in mainstream education. We can also help facilitate a successful transition into specialist placements or college pathways.
We are firmly committed to building a partnership between home, host school and provision to develop shared expectations, and supporting their S.E.M.H need in order to achieve excellent learning outcomes. We achieve this through regular communication throughout their time at SB Mentoring.
We pride ourselves on being able to offer packages bespoke to each individual learner. Through either provision or outreach, our students receive unique opportunities specifically tailored around their interests. By offering a range of vocational qualifications, we support our students on their journey ensuring a positive pathway to a brighter future.
We offer ASDAN vocational and life skills qualifications, Functional skills in English & Math tutoring, Thrive sessions supporting their SEMH & mental health, outdoor learning, creative technology, and sport to name a few.
