Did you know… for every single after-school club session we run, we have a full lesson plan?
Even our Enrichment Programme with Neale Wade is intentionally structured.
Every session — even when it’s hands-on, creative, or discussion based — has a learning objective, a purpose, and a developmental outcome.
Because here, everything is relevant.
Our sessions include:
✨ Practical, real-world skills
🧠 Mindset, confidence & emotional development
💛 A nurturing environment where young people feel seen, heard & supported
We don’t just “occupy time.”
We teach, we mentor, and we guide our young people as they grow — as people, not just students.
And the difference is real.
We were told recently that one of our students has shown a significant improvement in her academic grades this year compared to last year.
That’s what happens when a young person feels safe, encouraged and believed in.
We have worked incredibly hard to ensure we were doing this the right way.
We created 27 policies and completed a thorough risk assessment to make sure every young person is safe, supported and protected while they are with us.
There is so much heart, thought, planning and intention behind everything we do.
We are also deeply passionate about our partnership with Neale Wade.
They’re even hoping that during their next Ofsted inspection, they’ll be able to bring the inspector to Ivy Reign to see first-hand the impact of this environment.
And this is just the beginning.
2026 is where we step into bigger things.
We are ready — we’re simply waiting for the council to reopen their next consideration window for the provision we’re proposing.
When that moment comes, we are stepping forward fully prepared, with a vision that will open doors for even more young people.
Because what we’re building here isn’t just a club.
It’s a safe space.
A place to belong.
A place to become.
This is community. Confidence. Future-building.
This is Ivy Reign Academy.
