About us
Fresh Start in Education is a national provider, delivering 1:1 interim person-centred engagement and education packages to students who are having difficulties attending school for a variety of reasons. Our placements provide tailored tuition to engage with and continue education whilst also supporting each child and young person in a holistic way to overcome some of the challenges and barriers they may have faced or continue to experience.
We work with students aged 4 to 25 and will continue to work with a student, whatever their attitude or behaviour, unless it becomes apparent during our involvement, that they would benefit from another or a different form of specialisation.
Every programme is bespoke and can incorporate ASDAN short courses, NCFE Functional Skills and ‘1Life – Your Journey’ accredited by ASDAN, created by Fresh Start for our students.
Impact, Outcomes and Key Performance Indicators
Each placement commences with the initial Impact Engagement and Education Plan (IEEP) meeting to assess the student’s strengths, interests, barriers to learning and identify any risk behaviours, if any. From the IEEP, the Personal Learning Plan (PLP) is created with six defined SMART learning outcomes that are used to track the student’s progress and is reviewed every 6-weeks.

How we report attendance
All students placed with the Company receive the same level of monitoring and support with their attendance as they would receive in any school environment. Attendance codes are recorded on the Daily Report and are in line with DfE requirements. Punctuality is logged using the Lone Worker login, a system that records attendance of staff and student to check in and check out after the session to ensure the safety of all parties.
