Take Part: Schools and Education

Help Students Thrive through KEY+

From mainstream classrooms to SEND settings and inclusion units, KEY+ offers a structured, empowering programme that fits your learners - and your timetable.

Why KEY+ Works in Schools & Colleges

KEY+ is designed around a simple idea: when young people feel ownership over what they do, they engage more, learn more, and grow in confidence. 

KEY+ helps students who are disengaged, lack confidence or facing personal barriers reconnect with learning and develop real-world skills.

  • Builds confidence and self-belief
  • Improves teamwork, communication and resilience
  • Fits with Gatsby benchmarks and personal development frameworks
  • Delivers measurable outcomes and can be used as evidence in reviews or inspections

Designed for Your Setting

We work with:

  • Mainstream secondary schools and colleges
  • SEND schools and inclusion units
  • Alternative provision and PRUs
  • Schools supporting students at risk of exclusion or NEET

How It Works:

Train your team: We train your staff to become KEY+ facilitators
Deliver the challenge: Staff support students to plan, pitch and deliver a real-world project
Track progress: The model includes built-in reflection and outcome tracking
