Kelsey Park Sports College

Currently our youth worker (Jerry) goes into Kelsey Park Sports College two lunchtimes per week, Mondays and Fridays. Young people are referred via the school and the main purpose of this referral is so that we can support those who may be on the verge of being permanently excluded from school (NEET) or who have other issues e.g. difficulties with their attitude or behaviour, problems interacting with fellow pupils or staff, engaging and in anti-social behaviour or being in danger of not fulfilling their potential.

Over the last two terms 70% of the young people Jerry has worked with have made a positive change and have settled down. Of the remaining 30%, one young person has been permanently excluded and weekly sessions are ongoing with the rest of the young people. This is a very rewarding and successful project.
