💥 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. 🌍🎨✨

PRIVATE TUITION
At Rebel, we believe effective tuition starts with understanding the learner — where they are now, what they find difficult, what motivates them and what they want to achieve.
Our 80-minute, tutor-led sessions provide personalised support in Maths, English and Science, with options for 1:1, shared 1:2 and Focus Group tuition.
Tutors plan individualised lessons, teach in real time and adapt their approach as your learner develops — helping them strengthen knowledge, develop skills, improve grades and grow in confidence.
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.

EARLY INTERVENTION
Our Nurture Groups provide targeted, evidence-informed early intervention for children and young people aged 5–18 with identified SEND, SEMH or neurodiverse needs.
We work with children and young people who are experiencing difficulties with their emotional wellbeing, self-regulation, relationships, confidence or engagement with learning. Our aim is to provide support early, helping learners develop the skills and confidence they need before difficulties become more entrenched.
Our approach is rooted in trauma-informed practice and informed by an adapted model from the Nurture Group Network UK.
Sessions provide a safe, consistent and supportive environment where children can develop:
-
Emotional awareness and self-regulation
-
Social and communication skills
-
Positive peer relationships
-
Confidence and self-esteem
-
Coping strategies and emotional resilience
-
Engagement and participation in learning

🌱 TARGETED NURTURE GROUPS
Nurture Groups are at the heart of our Early Intervention service - safe, supportive spaces where children and young people build confidence, emotional resilience, and self-awareness. Young people shape their experience through voice, choice, and control.
What we offer:
Emotional Literacy & Regulation
Mindfulness, self-awareness, check-ins, and restorative tools to manage emotions.
Health, Wellbeing & Safety
Group sessions on healthy relationships, safety, and mental wellbeing, tailored to individual needs.
Arts for Wellbeing
Creative, youth-led activities for emotional expression and healing, offered 1:1 or in groups.
Advocacy & Voice
Supporting young people to be seen, heard, and actively involved in school plans and Early Help meetings.
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.

We’re excited to be developing new projects that continue to support and empower children, young people and their families through creativity, connection and co-production.

Early Intervention step-down support
We’re proud to have been awarded the Single Provider contract for Early Intervention in Swindon.
Alongside our targeted Nurture Groups, we are developing a range of step-down support as part of our extended Early Help offer, including:
🎨 Open-access Nurture Youth Clubs (universal support)
🎭 Family Wellbeing Events
🤝 Community Co-delivery Opportunities
These inclusive initiatives are designed to strengthen relationships, build resilience, and sustain positive progress beyond the initial intervention. They also offer children and young people the flexibility to dip in and out of support as needed.
We are currently developing a fundraising bid to expand and sustain this offer.
COMMUNITY CO-PRODUCTION
🤝 We are seeking to work in partnership with our local communities — including grassroots groups, faith organisations, and the voluntary sector - to strengthen and co-develop models of support for families who need it most.
🎯 Together, we aim to ensure families receive the right help at the right time.
🙋 We’re currently researching Family Connector models used across the UK and inviting expressions of interest from community leaders, volunteers, and organisations who would be keen to co-deliver parenting programmes or act as trusted connectors within their communities.
Family resilience camp
🌿 A supportive glamping retreat helping families build emotional resilience, strengthen relationships, and improve communication through group nature activities,
creative workshops, and hands-on practical skills.
🧠 Incorporates scaffolding techniques, the PACE framework, and peer mentoring to guide growth and connection — promoting lasting positive change.
👨👩👧👦 The families who would benefit include those who have been supported through an Early Help Conversation and Plan.
💡 We are currently at the initial concept stage and exploring funding opportunities.
