Case Study: Student 1
At Launch 2 Learning, we empower, educate, inspire and engage the students we work with. We adopt an individualised approach where we put the needs of the child at the centre of all we do. This has positive results where those we work with are able to lead a more successful life and are able to actively utilise the progress they have made.
One particular success story is of a student who had experienced difficulties at the end of one stage of school and found the transition to the next stage too much. The change in environment alongside other factors meant that the struggled to communicate how they were feeling and was angry a lot of the time. The student’s behaviour was aggressive, threatening and destructive. Eventually, their school felt there was a real risk of permanent exclusion and was guided to us for support.
When the student first came to L2L, they displayed some of these behaviours. Within a short period of time however, the calm environment and working 1:1 with teachers meant that they were able to start articulating thoughts and feelings in a safe environment with people they had built a rapport with. Teachers were able to explore with this young person their feelings, responses to those feelings and worked with the student to find strategies that helped them.
This young person attended L2L consistently and it wasn’t long before they were completing academic work every day, enjoying the success of learning and wanting to build on these newly acquired skills. Alongside this, behaviour improved and they were able to discuss thoughts effectively.
After a period of intervention, the student was able to integrate back into mainstream education after a relatively short time and this has been hugely positive for both the student and their family. Now, over a year later, this student continues to access the curriculum at a mainstream school, enjoys school and is finding success in life. They will progress into the next stage of education with their peers and has a bright future ahead.
