Head’s Welcome

Red Balloon Education Trust Norfolk is now open and we look forward to welcoming our first young people into an enriching environment where they feel safe and ready to reach their full potential.

After recently joining the RBET community, we are extremely excited to be putting the finishing touches to the recently renovated centre on Earlham Road in Norwich. We are looking forward to working closely with learners, parents/carers, staff, volunteers and governors, to ensure we provide a nurturing environment where young people feel valued and ready to learn.

We are passionate about working with young people who have experienced barriers to their learning and benefit from additional support to overcome these. By joining our centre each individual will develop a growth mindset to enable them to access a life-long love of learning.

Many of our learners are yet to be part of a community where they can develop their confidence and self-worth. At Red Balloon Education Trust Norfolk, we are committed to supporting our learners to achieve personal success and independence skills to prepare for adult life.

It is an exciting time to be part of Red Balloon Education Trust and its newest centre will continue to build on the excellent reputation of RBET where young people are at the heart of every decision we make.

Operation Encompass

Red Balloon Educational Trust- Norfolk will be taking part in a jointly run operation between Norfolk County Council, Norfolk Police and us, it is called Operation Encompass. Encompass has been set-up to help schools to provide support to children who have
been present at incidents of domestic abuse & violence. We know that children can be significantly physically or emotionally harmed when they are involved in, present or witness domestic violence.

We are keen to offer the best support possible to our pupils and we believe this is going to be extremely beneficial for all those involved.

TITAN

We have partnered with Norfolk County Council’s TITAN (Travel Independence Training across Norfolk) team and are currently delivering the Ready to Go! travel training programme to our students. TITAN offers young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) support to help them to become confident independent travellers. The Ready to Go! programme is a flexible framework for students from Year 7 onwards and teaches six core modules:

  • Pedestrian Skills
  • Communication Skills
  • Personal Health, Safety and Wellbeing
  • Problem-Solving Skills
  • Journey Planning Skills
  • Journey Practice Skills

The skills that the TITAN training provides have a holistic, positive impact across the whole of the young person’s life. Once completed, TITAN can support our students to transition to independently travelling to and from school or college, where appropriate.
