Alternative Provision • Private Tuition • Creative Learning • Personal Development
💥 At Rebel Training, we create safe, inspiring and personalised learning experiences that help children and young people engage with education, build inner strength and confidence, develop practical skills and achieve meaningful outcomes.
We believe learning works best when it connects with the individual learner — their strengths, interests, needs and aspirations. We combine academic learning, creativity and nurture, creating meaningful routes into learning and achievement.
From nurture-based Alternative Provision and Arts Award to private English and Maths tuition, our programmes are designed to help learners engage, achieve and progress.
We champion youth voice and honour each individual’s story, harnessing the arts as a powerful tool to nurture wellbeing, build confidence and spark meaningful change.
Here, voices are valued, stories are shared, and futures are shaped through creative expression, youth leadership and meaningful participation.
Through inclusive and imaginative opportunities, we empower children and young people to shape their world and design their future. 🌍🎨✨

Our Evidence-Based Approach
At Rebel, our services are underpinned by relational, trauma-informed and evidence-informed approaches that support emotional regulation, engagement and readiness for learning. Our framework is shaped by leading psychological and educational theories, allowing us to deliver personalised, therapeutic support that meets the unique needs of every learner.
We draw upon the following approaches:
🧠 Nurture Theory
We build safe, trusting relationships that help learners feel secure, valued and ready to engage in learning, including through small nurture-style groups that support emotional wellbeing, confidence and positive relationships.
🎨 Holistic Creative Arts Approach
We use creative approaches such as art, music, movement, drama, storytelling and sensory activities to help learners express themselves, process experiences and build confidence in a safe and supportive way.
🌈 PACE Model
Our approach is built on Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy, helping learners feel safe, supported and understood while building trust, emotional regulation and motivation to learn.
🌿 Somatic Regulation & Movement Practice
We use movement, breathing, grounding and sensory activities, alongside physical activity, to help learners regulate emotions, feel calm and stay engaged in learning.
💬 Solution-Focused Coaching & Motivational Interviewing
We use approaches such as OARS — Open questions, Affirmations, Reflective listening and Summarising — to help learners build self-awareness, explore their goals and take positive, manageable steps towards change.
🔺 Needs-led Practice
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is used as one framework for considering the emotional, relational and practical foundations that may need to be addressed before learners are ready to access more demanding learning.

The Neuroscience of Creativity
Creativity is not an add-on to learning.
Creativity engages multiple cognitive processes — connecting knowledge, memory, imagination and problem-solving.
Neuroscience research increasingly shows that creative thinking involves the interaction of multiple brain systems rather than a single 'creativity centre'.
At Rebel, we use creativity as a route into learning, expression and achievement — helping young people connect with learning in ways that are meaningful to them.

Rebel Creative Impact Hub is a Swindon Borough Council-approved Alternative Provision provider, offering personalised education for children and young people who are unable to access school full-time.
We believe every young person can learn, achieve and progress — but not every young person thrives in the same environment. Our nurture-based approach creates a safe, creative and personalised space where young people can feel seen, heard, understood and valued.
We support young people with a range of SEMH, SEND and complex needs, including those experiencing EBSA.
Our provision brings together academic learning, creative education, accredited qualifications, personal development and specialist engagement, shaped around each learner’s needs, strengths, interests and aspirations.
