## About

The Springboard Project provides high-quality, innovative educational provision for 14-19 year olds with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. Our aim is to support every student into employment, further education or training once they leave us at 19. We believe in meeting the needs of our young people where they are, supporting them to gain the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to go into fulfilling life beyond education.

Overall, it was a good choice for our family, but there's room for improvement. *(Aug 2022)*
