Roots Hertfordshire

What is Roots?

The Roots department is our alternate provision and privately available interventions, designed for young people who need bespoke support outside or even before returning to a typical school placement. We provide one-to-one and group sessions tailored to the needs of each student. This flexibility allows us to reach those who require a highly personalised, therapeutic environment to help them re-engage with enrichment activities to support wellbeing and personal development with a long term view of returning to learning.

Example timetable / programme

Roots programs are completely flexible and created around the student, whether they need one session a week or up to 3 half days a week. A program might involve areas of interest (like cooking or music), therapeutic support, outdoor education, or targeted academic work, all delivered one-to-one or in small, safe groups. The timetable is always calm and predictable, focusing on building a positive routine and re-establishing trust.

Case study

We recently supported a student through Roots who was unable to leave home due to extreme anxiety. By starting with flexible, one-to-one sessions in a safe environment, we focused on building emotional stability and regulation. Within a few terms, the student was confidently accessing community resources, successfully completing age related learning, and is now working towards transitioning back into education.
