Attention All Schools

Headstart2Work is a non profit making organisation set up for the benefit of a specific community. In this instance the project targets those who have been excluded from school or at risk of being excluded from school and poor attenders, those from disadvantaged backgrounds, those who are at risk of being marginalised by society, and those at risk of becoming NEET or who are NEET.

We offer students the opportunity to study in very small groups where they benefit from the small, rural, informal environment. These will include agricultural and construction courses.
