Stride360 provides bespoke pastoral support to schools and students through one-to-one, group, and after-school mentoring sessions. Each programme is tailored to meet the unique needs and interests of the individuals involved, ensuring a personalised and impactful approach. Stride360 works with children and young people from diverse backgrounds, including those requiring support within Tiers 1 to 4.

To promote inclusivity, sessions can take place on-site or off-site, accommodating the needs of the child, their family, and the school. Additionally, Stride360 offers flexible in-school support, enabling multiple students to be supported in a day while also addressing behaviour during breaks and transitions.

The Stride Approach is a comprehensive framework designed to support the holistic development of children and young people. It focuses on six key areas:

• Education: Re-engaging young people in the importance of education and fostering a love for learning
• Healthy Lifestyle: Encouraging regular exercise and a balanced diet to support physical well-being
• Mental Health: Developing positive coping strategies and fostering a growth mindset
• Life Skills: Building independence, effective communication, and problem-solving abilities
• Social Skills: Enhancing conflict resolution skills and promoting respect for others
• Self-Control: Supporting emotional regulation and managing stress and anxiety effectively

Central to the Stride Approach is the development of strong, trusting relationships between mentors and mentees. By creating a safe and supportive environment, Stride360 empowers children and young people to explore their interests, address challenges, and express their emotions constructively.

Stride360 is has recently announced the launch of its Alternative Provision, initially offering ten places for children and young people. This service is designed for those not currently in full-time education or struggling to engage in their existing school placements.

The Alternative Provision integrates the six key areas of the Stride Approach while rebuilding trust and positive relationships with education. During their time at the Alternative Provision, students will have access to:

• A core curriculum focused on literacy, numeracy, and reading
• Accredited qualifications such as ASDAN or Duke of Edinburgh (age-dependent)
• Work experience opportunities (age-dependent)
• Life and soft skills embedded into every aspect of the curriculum
• Tailored support, including Therapeutic Mentoring, Mentoring, or ELSA interventions, based on individual needs
• Opportunities to work on personal goals and developmental milestones
• Subject-specific work provided by their main school placement
• Activities to rebuild relationships with their main school or a potential new placement
• Continued mentoring support after their placement ends
• Transport to and from the location
• Nutritious lunches aligned with a healthy lifestyle

The Alternative Provision aims to provide a nurturing environment where students can rediscover their confidence, develop essential skills, and achieve meaningful progress in their educational journey. Stride360 remains committed to fostering positive change in the lives of children and young people, empowering them to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

A qualified designated safeguarding lead and a qualified Teacher will also be appointed to write, review and deliver the curriculum.

Individuals can be referred by Schools, Local Authority and by Parents. Referrals can be made via the website or by email.

Students can access one-to-one mentoring, group mentoring and onsite support for a minimum of 12 weeks. For the Alternative Provision students will be placed with us for 12 weeks with the intention of re-integrating them into their main school placement. Placements will be reviewed every 12 weeks with the school or council to decide if the placement continues. There is no cap on the length of time a student can spend at the Alternative Provision.
