Thank you for seeing my daughter for the loving soul that she is and not by her disabilities… I see the excitement in her eyes every time Wednesday rolls around and know the true bond she has allowed herself to have with you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting a smile back on her face.

Taleblazers run a series of term-time programmes designed to support young people who are unable to access full-time education. We work with children and young people who have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND); who are struggling with mental health; are excluded, or close to being excluded; are ‘in need’; are not attending school for medical reasons or are school refusers. Interventions typically last for a term, but a small number of students work with us long-term and we can offer emergency short-term places. Our programmes are bespoke and student-centred, built on trust and positive relationships, and we work hard to make sure all our young people know we are there to support them.
Staff leading the sessions are qualified teachers and outdoor leaders. We are registered as an alternative provision with Torbay Council and have completed their Quality Assurance process. We form part of Torbay Council’s Local Offer and referrals to our programmes can be made via schools, SEN caseworkers or social workers.
Details of our current programmes are below – if you need more information or would like to make a referral, please contact Rich.
