Supporting the Educational Journey of Children & Young People
At GFC, we provide high-quality, safe, and tailored tutoring and mentoring support packages for children and young people aged 4 to 25. We understand that re-entering full-time education can be a daunting experience, especially for those who have faced past trauma, personal challenges, or health-related difficulties.
​
Our Mission
We work in close partnership with Local Authorities, community support services, and the young people we support to improve their educational outcomes, skills, and life experiences. By providing the right tools, we help individuals build the confidence and knowledge they need to gain independence and succeed in life.
Personalised Support for Every Child or Young Person
Every child or young person we work with is encouraged to be ambitious and have their unique learning needs supported. Whether within our facilities or beyond, we focus on a nurturing journey to optimise the potential for meaningful outcomes.
​
A Therapeutic Approach to Development
Our team is dedicated to fostering positive relationships with each young person, creating an environment where creative, purposeful, and flexible tuition programs can thrive. We aim to equip each individual with the social and practical skills necessary to reach their full potential and prepare for a bright and independent future.
