Is extra academic assistance available for students requiring help with basic literacy skills?
Each student is assigned a personal tutor who will advise and give extra assistance.

There are 3 stages; worksheets, theory and practical assessments.

Body Rocks Life Skills Training Programme The Body Rocks Life Skills Training Programme is for young people who have achieved their Level 2 Body Rocks teaching qualification and who want to assist in helping other young people turn their lives around. They are engaged by Creativity in Sport to help instruct and peer mentor the next intake of course participants on the Life Skills programme. These young people are invaluable members of the Body Rocks team, making immense contributions to the positive changes they help bring about in changing negative disruptive and disengaged behaviour, as well as inspiring aspiration and achievement.
