We work with young people to build a foundation of strong, respectful and positive relationships; promote emotional regulation and then once the groundwork is in place we can look at reigniting young people’s passion for learning through interest-based, thematic learning.
A fresh approach to Alternative Education
Our ‘Pathway to Success’ model underpins out Alternative Education provision. We work closely with young people aged 6-18 years old, many effected with Emotional Based School Avoidance (EBSA); Social, Emotional and Mental Health issues (SEMH); and Special Educational Needs (SEN), to reengage and reignite their love of learning.

Sarah Keane
Founder and MD at Keane Futures
“Seeing young people who were once withdrawn, dysregulated and disengaged - socialising, regulated and reengaged in learning is the reason I do what I do.
Over the years I’ve built a trusted team of tutors, teachers, educators and mentors who share that same passion.”
