KS3 Extra Time Project – Crawley (2 Days per Week)
The Russell Martin Foundation’s Extra Time Project (ETP) in Crawley offers a supportive, structured, and engaging part-time provision for Key Stage 3 students who may find a full-time mainstream setting challenging. Running two days per week, this targeted programme is designed to help students build confidence, develop resilience, and re-engage with learning in a positive and nurturing environment. ETP serves as both a motivational stepping stone and a restorative break, supporting students to eventually return to mainstream education with renewed focus and self-belief. The curriculum is carefully designed to be accessible and relevant:
Science is taught through the lens of environmental issues, encouraging inquiry and critical thinking.
Maths is embedded in real-life contexts to develop essential life skills.
English is explored through journalling, social stories, and reflective writing to build literacy and emotional expression.
PSHE plays a central role, helping students understand and manage their emotions while building self-esteem, emotional literacy, and interpersonal skills.
In addition to academic learning, the programme includes a rich variety of extracurricular activities, such as:
Visits from outside speakers
Cooking sessions
Multi-sports activities
Enrichment opportunities that promote teamwork, wellbeing, and social development
Every student works towards clear, personalised goals, with regular reviews to track progress and identify next steps. Our aim is to ensure each young person leaves ETP better equipped, both emotionally and academically, to thrive in a full-time educational setting.

The Russell Martin Foundation’s KS4 Extra Time Project (ETP) in Crawley provides a structured, nurturing environment for students in Key Stage 4 who benefit from targeted support alongside their mainstream education.
This programme offers a focused and personalised approach, enabling students to work towards certified qualifications in key areas such as:

These courses are designed to develop both academic and life skills that will serve students well in their current studies and future pathways.
In addition to qualifications, students benefit from, homework support sessions to promote independence and academic progress, small group learning aimed at closing gaps and boosting confidence in core subjects.
A key feature of the KS4 provision is its dedicated transition support for post-16 planning. Whether students are considering college, apprenticeships, or other routes, we provide practical guidance to help them make informed decisions.
This includes:
Exploring career and education options
Application and CV writing support
Confidence-building sessions to prepare for interviews and new environments
This programme is particularly valuable for students who are uncertain about their future pathways as they approach the end of Year 11.
The Russell Martin Foundation is committed to ensuring that every young person is equipped with the tools, self-belief, and direction needed to make a successful transition into post-16 education.
