What the school offers its staff
Part of the New Bridge Multi Academy Trust, The Springboard Project is a specialist provision providing high quality, innovative, alternative educational experiences for students aged 14-19 with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties). Based in Oldham town centre, we work across the neighbouring boroughs of Tameside, Rochdale and Stockport.
Here at the Project, we believe passionately in supporting our students to achieve their very best outcomes and to overcome their barriers to learning. Our aim is to meet the needs of our young people where they are, supporting them to gain the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to go into fulfilling life beyond education. It is our ambitious goal to support every one of our students into employment, further education or training once they leave us at 19. Through collaboration with the Trust, and our partnerships with wider external agencies, we can support our young people up to the age of 25, ensuring they have the best possible outcomes and move successfully into adulthood.
We promise to ensure that all our students have the opportunity to:
- Gain a minimum of 4 Level 2 (GCSE or equivalent) qualifications, including Maths and English
- Gain a vocational qualification in a pathway of their choice
- Develop employability and life skills, including recognised qualifications
- Have real, meaningful work experiences, including being allocated a career coach, who will stay with them post-19
We also believe that we cannot support our young people in isolation, and so we are always looking for innovative ways to support our wider community and the young people’s families. This can be through offering a friendly ear / support to the adults around our students through to real, practical support via our ‘Project Pantry’, a one-stop option for families struggling with the cost of living crisis.
