Ethos & Aims of Circles

Circles Alternative Education C.I.C Ltd strives to engage young people in learning through vocational team work and social development.


Quantitative & Qualitative Progress Reports

We have been developing our own system for measuring, tracking and improving our students attendance and attainment since 2010.

This enables us to track punctuality by the minute, report attendance data instantly and measure both social and academic progress. 

Alternative Environments

We offer spaces in nature around animals and within real life working scenarios. Whatever the setting, young people at Circles are given ownership, they feel safe and their attendance makes an impact.

Our team are a mixture of educationalists and vocational professionals. We focus on the importance of team work whilst celebrating the individual, using fun, humour, patience and understanding to support our young people. 

Alternative Approach

Young Peoples Voice

Our young people are given the chance to feedback on their learning experience each day. Their mentor will also provide their comment, ensuring good communication and a shared understanding. 

We are an open-arm service; offering every young person a chance to engage in education.
