EduPaws

What a day! What a trip! What a team up! Today EduPaws staff and students teamed up with staff and students from Awaken Education UK to have a day out at Gullivers Valley!! 🎢

Here’s a sneak peek of our day! Video to follow in a few days when we’ve recovered! 😆

It’s been a while since we last posted- but that doesn’t mean we stopped! We have been working on English projects (creating and writing children’s books) and also completing assessments in readiness for next academic year which has taken up a lot of time!

So today we decided we needed some down time… our girls suggested puzzles! Quiet, focused and disciplined 🧩 🧐

Whilst the boys took part in football- physical activity ⚽️ 🥅

Something for families to come and enjoy!!

🐾 EduPaws: Learning That Feels Pawsitive

At EduPaws, we believe every young person deserves an education that fits — not one they must squeeze themselves into. As an alternative to mainstream school, we specialise in supporting learners with SEND needs and behavioural challenges, offering a space where they can grow, thrive, and feel genuinely understood.

Our approach blends functional skills, life skills, and employability skills, ensuring each learner’s journey is meaningful, practical, and tailored to their future. And we’re thrilled to share some exciting news: EduPaws is now an accredited City & Guilds Exam Centre. This milestone means our young people can achieve recognised qualifications in a setting where they feel safe, supported, and celebrated.

Of course, no EduPaws update would be complete without mentioning our four‑legged team members. Our wonderful therapy dogs play a huge role in wellbeing, confidence building, and emotional regulation — offering comfort, calm, and a wagging tail whenever it’s needed most.

Looking ahead, we’re expanding opportunities beyond the classroom. We’re currently exploring local work experience placements in areas such as construction, agriculture, animal care, and more. If you or your organisation could offer a placement to one of our young people, we’d love to hear from you.
Please get in touch at [email protected].

Together, we’re building brighter futures — one learner, one skill, and one pawprint at a time.

An unexpected visitor today for some of our students! This is Kiki the Dutch Warmblood 🐴
The boys had a fab time talking to her owner and interacting with Kiki
