“ 15 years old, Care experienced, excluded from school, not on track to gain any GCSEs. Every Education and Alternative Provision has broken down. They just never get how he needs to learn. Yet here he is, knocking it out of the park, in his happy place surrounded by tech and a lovely crew who want to help him on the road to success. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You have opened a door for my lad.”
