Head of Centre messages (eg RBET Norfolk) welcome students to a brand-new learner centre on Earlham Road, Norwich, describing a safe, welcoming space with facilities like a science lab, library, garden and dining area, and emphasising wellbeing and community.
Red Balloon offers full-time, term-based provision, either in-person at Centres or at Red Balloon of the Air, which provides a hybrid of online and face-to-face support (up to 15 hours per week).
Typical ages 11–16 (KS3–4). Some centres state up to age 18 for GCSEs (e.g., RB Cambridge); some centres offer part-time provision (RBET Aylesbury) with up to 15 hours per week. Centres may require case-by-case assessment; not offering A-levels. EHCPs may be provided for some students depending on their needs. Provision can be short-term (up to about six terms) or longer-term, with aims to re-engage students into mainstream education or other routes.
