Intervene before disengagement becomes absence or exclusion.
LRL Outreach is a structured in-school programme for pupils whose confidence, regulation, relationships or engagement are beginning to affect attendance and learning. It combines explicit personal-development teaching with practical challenge, reflection and pupil voice, while the pupil remains part of the school community.
A taught intervention, not an activity day.
Every session has a learning objective and a consistent sequence. Practical activities are chosen because they create opportunities to practise the behaviours and skills the school wants to see transfer back into lessons and wider school life.
Each session moves from reflection to action.
Pupils explore ideas around resilience, choices, confidence, communication and regulation, then test them through practical challenge and identify where the same skills are needed in school.
Success is what transfers back into school.
Before delivery starts, we agree a small number of outcomes that matter to the school and the pupils. Progress should be noticeable in lessons, relationships, attendance or readiness to learn, not only during the outreach session itself.
Need to intervene before a placement starts to break down?
Tell us what staff are seeing, which pupils you are concerned about and what needs to improve. We will be clear about whether Outreach is the right intervention and what a 12-week programme should focus on.
