Prosper Learning Trust was formed to help vulnerable young people succeed against the odds. Many children and young people face challenges in their lives that many adults will happily never experience and Prosper is here to support them in doing so. Wherever possible we will help these young people to thrive in a mainstream educational setting but where that cannot happen we will provide a safe space for them in one of our schools until they are ready to return or move on. We believe that learning is the key to their chances of success and we will provide the high quality teaching and curriculum they deserve, ensuring an equality of opportunity with their peers in mainstream settings. Our schools offer children and young people with a diverse range of additional needs, the opportunity to learn in a supportive environment, where differences are celebrated, and every pupil is valued and encouraged to achieve their own potential. We will deploy our specialist and highly skilled staff and work closely with families, schools and other agencies to create the best possible educational experiences and opportunities for the young people in our care. We will nurture their talent, keep them safe and develop them as people until they are ready to return to mainstream education or move on to adult life as happy, confident and mature young people. Prosper Learning Trust works across the North East of England and is a champion and advocate for vulnerable young people in our region.
