RBET Norfolk now open

We are excited to announce that our 76 Earlham Road site has relaunched as a Red Balloon Centre as part of the Red Balloon Educational Trust, charity number 1109606.

This second Red Balloon Centre in the area (alongside Red Balloon Norwich on Drayton Road) supports young people in Norwich and Norfolk.

Find out more about what we do.

We place as much emphasis upon student wellbeing and social re-engagement as academic achievement, working together to support the development of each individual young person, beginning carefully and sensitively when they arrive, re-building self-belief and self-esteem to confidently prepare them for learning

We look forward to continuing to welcome students to our centre and build on the excellent reputation of the Red Balloon Educational Trust, where young people are at the heart of everything we do.

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.
