Our Services,
What Do We Do?
Engage Project believes that a holistic approach ensures better outcomes for the young people we work with, which is why we work closely with families, schools and local authority agencies throughout the learners placement with us.
Weekly progress reports and regular review meetings take place as standard, to ensure we are meeting the needs of every learner.
We feel it is important to celebrate every success no matter how big or small, and want our young people to take pride in their work.
We understand that the commute to a large school setting can be daunting for some learners, and can lead to them starting their day in a heightened state. Engage Project is just a short walk from the bus and train station in the centre of Barnsley. Our building provides a small, nurturing environment where you will always feel welcome.
We Provide A Calm, Safe & Nurturing Environment To Enable Young People To Achieve.
AQA Unit Awards

The AQA unit award scheme is designed to engage all students with learning and formally recognises their achievements. All learners are awarded with a certificate each time they successfully complete a unit and can build up a portfolio of certificates to evidence their skills, knowledge and experience.
​
The scheme boosts learners confidence, increases engagement and improves motivation, helping to make progress on their lifelong learning journey.

There are many units to choose from and learners are encouraged to explore a wide range of topics.
