We love to share the success stories of our young people

Below you can links to some case studies which outline the work we have completed with a number of different young people (names have been changed to keep them anonymous).

What others say about us.

Multi Agency Support Worker, Sheffield City Council

“Big vision, big smile, attention on the little things. I have visited many educational settings both schools and alternative provisions and the thing that struck me about Shaped was time. Time to get to know learners, time to ask and listen to questions and time to make a difference… The learner I took to Shaped had been out of education for almost 2 years and within 10 minutes I knew that she would re-engage in education because of Shaped and their child/young person led service.”

Social worker in Sheffield

“Through the support Shaped staff have provided it’s been fantastic to see a young person I work with grow in confidence, not only in his learning capabilities but in forming positive relationships with others. The staff offer a friendly environment that helps young people to focus on their work but also feel valued as individuals. I really appreciate how the staff take the time to get to know their young people and go above and beyond to help them access their education.”

Assistant Head, Birley Secondary Academy

“The team at Shaped are able to provide a successful alternative placement for students who require a smaller educational provision or are at risk of permanent exclusion. Shaped offers a personalised provision which helps students succeed - highly recommended!”

Sheffield foster carer

“Fantastic alternative provision for my foster son who struggled to fit in the school environment. He has his voice heard, respected as being important, given time to manage his issues, most importantly is that he doesn’t have to fit into a box… At shaped it is smaller and shorter bursts of education which has supported his capabilities much better, hence him learning more.”

Parent of a student that avoided permanent exclusion

“SHAPED was a saviour for us, when my son lost his place from mainstream school. SHAPED allowed him to continue with is progress for his GCSEs , and offered more training such as learning in construction.”
