TBAC @ The Learning Centre is a creative and educational environment that inspires young people to engage and for tutors to deliver to the highest standard of curriculum education and wellbeing.
We provide a safe, calming and a happy space for our students which is carefully designed for meeting the wellbeing needs of our students.
We pride ourselves on every young person making progress above and beyond expectations, whatever their starting points.
TBAC’s success is not only measured by academic achievement, but also by personal achievement and “distant travelled” as all our young people are different and face individual challenges.
We offer young people the absolute best chance to develop into rounded, confident, and ambitious individuals. We also offer them a great learning environment with supported and dedicated Teachers, Tutors, TA’s, Mentors, support staff with a first-class facility to support every young person to grow and develop.
We provide each student with a bespoke timetable based on their individual needs and abilities and every student is assigned a mentor and sessions are offered on a one-to-one or small group basis.
We work with children and young people with Special Education Needs and Disability of varying difficulties.
We offer post 16 options to year 12+
