KS3 Alternative Education Programme in Brighton
The Russell Martin Foundation delivers a KS3 Alternative Education Programme in Brighton, supporting young people who may be experiencing challenges in mainstream secondary education.
Our 12-week Extra Time Project (ETP) provides a supportive learning environment where pupils can rebuild confidence, develop resilience and strengthen the skills needed to succeed in education.
Through personalised mentoring, academic support and social-emotional development, we help young people overcome barriers to learning and work towards a successful return to mainstream education. For pupils preparing to move from primary to secondary school, explore our KS2 to KS3 Transition Programme.
Supporting a Return to Mainstream Education
Following the 12-week programme, we support pupils with a phased return to mainstream education, helping them apply the skills and confidence developed during their time with us.
We also provide ongoing mentoring and guidance to support this transition.
Flexible Alternative Education Provision
Alongside our 12-week programme, we offer a year-long, part-time option involving two days per week. This provides continued educational and emotional support while pupils remain connected to their mainstream school.
Our aim is to improve confidence, resilience, attendance and long-term engagement with education.
