About the service

Nacro Longton Moves Alternative Education Project helps young people who have disengaged with school to return to learning or move on to work. The service is designed to offer alternatives to mainstream education by running flexible programmes that provide the most appropriate package for each individual so they can either return to mainstream learning or move on to other learning opportunities such as entry to employment.

We provide imaginative activities designed to inspire and excite participants through formal and informal learning, including the use of sport.

What will I get out of it?

• Personal and social development skills
• National Open College Network qualifications in construction
• City and Guilds literacy and numeracy qualifications
• Qualifications in sports leadership and bicycle maintenance
