Why are we unique?
We are a government-funded organisation acting as a rest bite for children and adults ‘at risk of’ becoming excluded from school. LLSOM have an extremely high record of accomplishment in putting pupils back into mainstream education where we believe they are best suited.
We utilise many different funding streams as we believe music and education should not come at a cost to anyone who decides they would like to pursue a more sustainable career path.
The creative industry is the 5th largest UK sector creating over 1.3 million jobs. Our staff have substantial knowledge within the sector, additionally supported by our partnership with the NTIA (Nighttime Industries Association – https://ntia.co.uk/) To offer new candidates for the industry to progress into the areas we believe they will flourish in.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum consists of bite-sized lessons to handhold our pupils into relevant opportunities, where we can accommodate a level 1 entry into higher education and colleges. We embed functional skills, British Values, equality, and diversity, as well as incorporating the curricular areas outlined by DfE (such as technological, human, social, aesthetic, and creative areas of learning). We achieve a high-quality delivery of our curriculum with consideration of feedback from pupils and tutors to adapt and update where necessary.
Our Lessons
We have created a broad spectrum of lessons, written to a high standard using Ofsted guidance. Here is a selection of our tried and tested lessons:
Our Approach
We create a safe, inclusive environment where pupils can feel valued, supported, and nurtured to create, learn, and thrive. We aim that every pupil will gain confidence, self-esteem, understanding, and personal growth. All, whilst helping them to develop knowledge, skills, and even memories, that will last a lifetime.
