Saints Connect
Developing knowledge and skills, Saints Connect is here to inspire positive change.
This referral-based programme for young people aged 11-16, is a form of alternative education aimed to re-engage and refocus students on their learning.
Currently based at two schools in the city, the project uses one-to-one mentoring, group work and classroom support to improve attitudes and build on students’ potential.
Saints Connect also looks to build their confidence and overall mental well being so students can thrive outside of the classroom as they grow on their journey to excellence.
It really helped me. It matured me. It taught me that it wasn’t always right to be the class clown. Sometimes it’s better to knuckle down
