What’s on offer?
NYHA is dedicated to re-engaging students aged 13-16 who have become disengaged from mainstream education by providing an innovative and exciting learning environment centred around the art of hairdressing.
We believe in the transformative power of hairdressing as a vehicle for education and personal development. Through hands-on experience, students not only gain valuable vocational skills but also discover a newfound sense of purpose and passion for learning.
Our holistic approach goes beyond just hairdressing. We integrate mindfulness practices into our curriculum, fostering emotional well-being and resilience among our students. Additionally, our program emphasises the development of essential social skills, encouraging teamwork, communication, and empathy.
Furthermore, we recognize the importance of a well-rounded education. That’s why we incorporate PSHE into our lessons, addressing topics such as self-esteem, body image, and healthy relationships.
We are committed to improving students’ functional skills in Maths and English. From measuring ingredients for hair treatments to writing client consultation forms, every aspect of our curriculum is designed to reinforce key academic concepts in a practical and meaningful context.
By combining the art of hairdressing with a comprehensive educational approach, we aim to empower our students to succeed academically, professionally, and personally.
