Horizon Care and Education

HEAL (Horizon Education Alternative Learning) offers a bespoke education service to children and young people who have been unable to succeed in mainstream education settings. HEAL comprises a team of experienced specialist SEMH and SEND teachers and practitioners. All HEAL staff are trained in trauma informed approaches which remains central to everything we do. Our most favoured packages purchased by commissioning teams are the 10 or 15 hours with 1:1 support. Costings can be provided separately. We do have a 2:1 option available and costings for this can be provided if required. HEAL offers a variety of bespoke packages for young people aged between 7 and 19. The aims and outcomes of the programme vary and might include the following: Reengagement with education: Many young people are placed on the HEAL programme as an interim measure with a view to preparing these students to return to full time education. HEAL teachers work hard to engage these students and help them to restart their learning journey and become prepared for school.
