TST was established in 2004 to work primarily with young people who had fallen outside of mainstream education or training, offering a provision for 14-19-year-olds alongside young adults with an educational healthcare plan (EHCP) up to the age of 24. We have a flexible and individual approach to re-engaging these young people, helping them gain vocational qualifications and progress into further training, education or employment. This flexible approach ensures that no student is left behind, and each individual has the opportunity to thrive irrespective of when they join.
Our dedicated team of educators and support staff work collaboratively to tailor learning experiences that meet the unique needs of each student. We aim to build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love for learning by fostering a nurturing environment.
Furthermore, we understand the importance of preparing our students for the future. Therefore, we provide comprehensive career guidance and support throughout their time with us, helping learners explore their interests and make informed decisions about their academic and professional pathways. Our goal is to equip every student with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Where needed our learners are given full support with all aspects of personal and social development alongside their educational programme. We have an open door counselling policy where students can access help at the point of need and we will arrange more specialist counselling where needed.
TST has a rolling education programme, whereby learners can engage with us at any point during the academic year. We pride ourselves on creating a nurturing and inclusive environment that caters to the diverse needs of our student community. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to foster a sense of belonging and ensure that every learner feels valued and supported. We aim to consistently put into practice our four core values of Kindness, Respect, Teamwork and Inclusivity.
In summary, our institution is dedicated to fostering a supportive, dynamic, and inclusive learning environment where every student can flourish both personally and academically. We believe that by investing in the development of well-rounded individuals, we are contributing to a brighter and more equitable future for all.
