Our curriculum focuses on the needs of young people, teaching them life skills that they can use to increase their social mobility and live safe, independent lives.
We aim to produce confident, critical thinkers educated in real life skills. Simple skills and lessons like: money management; CV support; Job interview preparation and much more. We also provide access to future employment networks to enable our young people to soar beyond the school gates.
Our SNAP acronym helps us to streamline our work into key areas of focus.
We support young people through study support and a welcoming environment that helps them focus, learn and thrive. Our drop-in sessions offer space to complete homework, ask questions, or simply relax and connect. Alongside this, we create opportunities for young people to explore their creativity in ways that value their voices, passions and ideas-building confidence, self-expression and a sense of belonging.
When we asked young people what their biggest barrier to learning was, they said: hunger. That’s why every Rekindle session includes a free, nutritious, hot meal. We eat together, phones down, conversations open – creating a warm, stigma-free space where everyone is cared for and nourished.
We celebrate every young person’s potential by offering workshops, experiences and opportunities that connect with their ambitions. Whether it’s through creative projects, career inspiration, or educational visits, Rekindle helps young people recognise their strengths and envision bold futures.
Safety is central to everything we do. Rekindle has strong safeguarding practices in place, shaped and upheld by the Rekindle team and our young board of Trustees. We are committed to making Rekindle a space where every young person feels secure, heard and respected.
We focus on developing fierce critical thinkers who are self aware, who understand themselves, their peers and the society they will help to build in the future. Alongside our SNAP framework we use the Four C’s: Critical thinking, Creativity, Changemaking and Cultural Education
Young people are challenged to think for themselves and form their own conclusions.
We have imagination, joy and creativity running through the heart of all we do.
Our pupils are pushed to problem-solve and find solutions to challenges in their community.
A curriculum that evolves constantly and reflects the interests of the young cohort.
At Rekindle, we are determined to ensure that anyone who is involved in or connected to our work, particularly children, are safe from harm. Our Safeguarding policy encompasses measures to protect everyone who comes into contact with Rekindle or any of its work, including our staff. We use the term safeguarding to refer to the steps that Rekindle takes to protect children, young people, vulnerable adults, staff, and volunteers from the risk of harm or abuse that might arise when they come into contact with Rekindle.
