The Place Programme

Alumni

I joined PLACE six years ago. I really enjoy doing art with Sue and going on trips with my friends at PLACE.

Marwa

I left PLACE a few years ago, I really enjoyed Multisports and seeing my friends every week

Harry

I really enjoyed being home schooled through PLACE, which meant I could learn at home without missing out on the social and community aspects of school. Learning through PLACE was really rewarding and prepared me well to move onto sixth form, and later a job and university study.

Robert

I am in my 9th year at PLACE and it's been a really good experience. I enjoy music and sport. It's great to be able to come to the Portal for lessons, meet friends and go on some amazing trips. My favourite was trip Go Ape last term.

Andrew

I thoroughly enjoyed my 11 years at PLACE and graduated last year after studying music at Durham University. I enjoyed being part of a friendly community and I have lots of great memories from my time with PLACE.

Hi, I'm Molly. I was part of PLACE from 2014-2021. I loved learning in small groups where there was lots of discussion, I enjoyed our Wednesday trips - always so much fun and so lovely to be with friends more socially

I benefited a lot from PLACE in my time there from 2015-2021; it helped me pass my GCSEs and prepare me socially and academically for my current A-levels at the Bedford 6th Form.
