getting started with the functional skills of maths and english allows our young people to progress with what they choose to do next.
At innov8 Workshops we work to further the Maths and English skills that are needed in all aspects of life going forward – whether that is for going on to further education, or going into the workplace.
What We Do
We start the first session by getting to know each young person; what do they like and what do they dislike about either subject. This helps create open and honest communication, and allows them to see that they are listened to. This then drives further communication. We want all students to succeed and see their own growth and progression.
When they first come to innov8 Workshops, they complete a Maths and English assessment, allowing us and them to see where their strengths are. After completing the assessments, the results are explained so they understand them fully. This allows us to move forward and work with them in bespoke ways, to enable them to learn in the way most suited to them. This has ranged from holding maths lessons outside, cooking or using our wood workshops.
