Since 2004 SMARTT North East have been delivering a number of highly successful long and short Vocational courses for schools and organisations across the North East of England, mainly working with young people in Key Stage 3 & 4 that are close to exclusion and/or in danger of leaving education without any qualifications or the Key Skills needed for employment. Young people leaving school without qualifications are at risk of becoming NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training)
SMARTT North East works in local schools and academies across the North of England and we are one of the leading providers delivering 13-16 ‘Out of School’ and ‘at Risk of Exclusion’ programmes. Our aim is to adopt the highest standards and recognise all learners have an equal right to succeed. We work towards an integrated curriculum and learners are encouraged to meet challenges with enthusiasm, honesty and a willingness to solve problems. We aim for an atmosphere of cooperation, through “Enjoying and Achieving” with respect for individual differences and community values.

Our programmes is an initiative that aims to equip year 9, 10 and 11 learners who have disengaged or are at risk of being excluded from mainstream education. We offer schools and academies a range of differentiation and support to enable students to take the next step towards their career goals and give them the Key Skills to succeed in life.
SMARTT’s delivery provides an alternative curriculum programme in a relaxed and informal setting. We will conduct an initial assessment to identify any learning and support needs, and from this a structured curriculum is devised. This assists in the setting of clear and SMARTT targets and allows students to work at their own pace.
SMARTT can provide courses for individuals or groups with Behavioural Emotional & Social Difficulties (BESD) and Special Educational Needs (SEN) which meet Ofsted requirements. We deliver nationally recognised awards and qualifications to bolster delivery -We are fully registered with a range of leading Awarding Bodies (ASDAN, City & Guilds, Highfield, OCR and SAQ international)
