Our news
Here in the Home Rooms students have been adding some Christmas cheer. Just like last year, we're asking everyone who comes to the home rooms to add a bauble to the tree.
This term students have been sharing their successes:
T has completed an AQA Unit Award for learning sign language
B has set a goal for their future - to fly planes in the RAF
Lots of students have joined our maths and English small groups or our social groups and found new ways to learn, make friends and find new interests
Got a concern?
We want you to feel safe and supported by all of us at Next Steps. You can help us by following our expectations for behaviour and letting us know if you're worried about you, your family & friends, our tutors or our sessions.

Your work
At 'head-honcho-central' we get to see the work you do with tutors and mentors everyday, whether you work with us in the home rooms, in your home or online. It's fabulous!
It's soooo fabulous that we fixed our minds to create a space where we could share it with the world! If you've got work or photos you'd like to add to our page please let your tutor or mentor know and they will pass it on to us.
Work is uploaded towards the end of each half term. You can add your initials or be anonymous - that's completely up to you!
Japanese & Manga Art
Here's some fantastic self-focused work from one of our remote students, B.
B has been teaching herself Japanese and drawing Manga art. Do you recognise any of the Japanese? What would you like to learn independently?
Creatures Everywhere
T made a photobook of her favourite moments from her visit to the zoo.
She has also been busy in the garden, installing a bird feeder. It's so popular we've had to refill it twice already! Can you spot T's great design for a birdbath too?
The Advice Corner
(well OK, it's not a corner, but it IS a good place for advice). We all have worries some of the time. Our team has got together the places we think are great sources of advice for children and teens. Of course, we are always ready to listen at Next Steps too.
Your tutor or mentor can help
The websites we recommend can help but don't forget that your tutor or mentor can help too. Sometimes talking in person to someone who knows you can be the best way to share a problem.
Remember:
- We're here for more than maths, English, science
- A problem shared is a problem halved
- We have lots more ways to support you - too many to add them all here!
