Young people
We offer a variety of programmes for young people. These can be delivered to groups within schools, colleges and other institutions. Aspire also run these programmes regionally for private groups. Click on the titles below to find out more.
These include:
- Transition without trauma
-
The move from primary to secondary, school to sixth form college, or school to university, is often a challenging experience for young people. It can be an exciting time but some may find it extremely daunting.
Using Mental Toughness training and supportive coaching, this programme reduces the stress and upheaval of these transition periods, making them a positive experience thus avoiding the diminishing academic performance and motivation that may be associated with these times.
- Young Leaders Programmes
-
These 2 year programmes work with single sex groups to develop personal leadership skills, responsibility, motivation and life aspirations. Suitable for young people who are underachieving or lacking self-esteem and confidence, these programmes combine training and coaching over a 2 year period. They are designed to offer maximum support to young people as they undertake GCSE and A level programmes and to prepare them for future success and leadership.

- Exam Success
-
These full and half day workshops are intended to improve focus, confidence and motivation for young people sitting examinations in the near future. During the workshops the barriers to success are identified and broken down, and motivation is boosted. These programmes are tailored to the needs of each individual in the group. As such, no two workshops are the same, as they focus on issues that are raised in the group rather than on any set agenda.
- Beating Bullying
-
This programme works with groups of students who have identified themselves as being bullied. The programme aims to raise their confidence and assertiveness, allowing them to break out of the victim mentality and start to regain a sense of control and happiness at school. This programme can also work with bullies and help them remove their need to bully and gain a better sense of self-worth and value.
