Supporting Educational Establishments with What Truly Works
We prioritise leveraging our school leadership experience to offer scalable solutions that address persistent challenges such as high suspension rates, persistent absenteeism, disengagement, and behaviour linked to trauma or unmet needs. Our ultimate goal is for our initiatives to deliver long-term sustainability that supports the academic and personal development of pupils.

The Re-Education Programme Model
Reintegrate & Thrive: A Cost–Effective Proven Behaviour Support Strategy
The Re-Education Programme is a collaborative intervention model designed to work in close partnership with school leaders. It is informed by research which highlights that “having a strong re-education programme enables schools to understand the expectations set out for having a clear strategy for reintegrating a pupil who returns to school following a suspension, and for managing their future behaviour” (Ofsted, School Inspection Handbook, 2024).
Delivered through a hybrid approach, the programme combines direct on-site support with school-led sessions using structured, tailored resources. A trauma-based mentoring approach complements the model. This mentoring enables us to work strategically with school staff to ensure pupils are reintegrated successfully and thriving, whilst building confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
The programme is designed for pupils who:
- Have been repeatedly suspended
- Have been involved in one or more serious incidents
- Attend off-site provision or respite placements
- Are at risk of permanent exclusion
With over 35 adaptable projects, the programme offers a comprehensive, ready-to-implement toolkit aligned with a school’s MIS behaviour categories. This enables leaders to deliver targeted, flexible interventions tailored to their unique context and priorities.
True Stories Intervention
Using Drama to Address Traumatic Events in Pupils’ Lives in a Safe and Nurturing Environment
True Stories is our flagship drama-based initiative that uses real-life narratives to help young people explore and process complex experiences in a safe and nurturing environment. At the heart of the programme are stories surrounding underage and unhealthy relationships, which sensitively explore issues such as misogyny and violence affecting girls. The workshops help pupils develop awareness of healthy relationships, respect, consent, and gender equality, while building confidence, empowerment, and the skills to challenge harmful behaviours.
Other key themes include:
- Drug-affected families
- Peer pressure and risk-taking
- Bereavement and trauma
- Gang violence
- Online safety and healthy use of digital media
Delivered by specialist drama practitioners, these interactive workshops allow students to engage creatively with difficult topics, express emotions, and reflect on their own experiences. They can be delivered over 6–12 weeks for small targeted groups or larger year cohorts, or as one-day workshops to tackle context-specific themes intensively, tailored for mixed or gender-specific groups.
The full programme generally culminates in a True Stories showcase performance, giving pupils the opportunity to share their learning and creative interpretations. This is followed by a celebration ceremony recognising the growth, achievements, and resilience of all participants.
Unlocking Your Potential Intervention
High-Impact Support for Year 10 & 11 Pupils to Boost Progress Where It Matters Most.
This 6–12 week initiative is delivered in collaboration with school leaders to provide targeted, evidence-informed support for your Golden 20 priority pupils in Year 10 and Year 11 who are underachieving and at risk of not securing strong academic outcomes by the end of Year 11. Built on a positive reinforcement model, the programme removes barriers to success through tailored, high-impact interventions that deliver measurable outcomes for those who need it most.
Key components include:
- Motivational assemblies designed to inspire pupils, raise aspirations, and build momentum for GCSE success at the end of Year 11.
- Weekly small-group workshops including key areas such as self-regulation, managing stress, positive relationships, attendance, and effective learning behaviours
- A bespoke rewards system to encourage positive behaviour and academic focus
- Rigorous tracking of attendance, behaviour, and academic performance to evidence impact
Pupils are selected by school leaders of the KS4 team based on who would benefit most from the programme. It is particularly suited to those who are disengaged with school, have poor attendance, or are underperforming in English and Maths, including pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds or those with additional needs.

In Their Own Words
Dele Rotimi
Headteacher, The Urswick School
“We commissioned the Unlocking Your Potential Intervention with a clear purpose: to provide a targeted intervention for 20 Year 10 boys, helping them build on existing support and achieve the strong academic outcomes they are capable of at the end of Year 11.
The programme delivered exactly what we set out to achieve. PGS-Educators adapted the delivery to meet the specific needs of our learners, responding to feedback and consistently monitoring progress to ensure the intervention remained relevant and effective.
The strong relationships built with pupils were central to its success. The programme created a safe and purposeful environment where pupils were willing to reflect, contribute and take ownership of their choices. Since implementation, we have seen a reduction in behaviour incidents, increased classroom engagement, improved attendance and a calmer learning environment, alongside stronger relationships between pupils and staff.
The programme also complemented our wider raising achievement strategy, equipping pupils with the focus, positive learning behaviours and resilience needed to respond constructively to feedback and improve their academic performance.
I would recommend this programme unreservedly to schools supporting Year 10 and Year 11 pupils who have the potential to achieve but need structured support to translate that potential into outcomes. It provides the additional impetus and belief that can make a real difference.”

Headteacher – Sacred Heart Catholic Secondary School
“The Re-Education Model has become an instrumental part of our behaviour strategy, particularly in supporting pupils returning from suspension or internal exclusion.
The programme offers targeted projects addressing relevant issues such as persistent disruptive behaviour, malicious content and bringing the school into disrepute. Its hybrid delivery model combines well-structured resources with the expertise of PGS practitioners, ensuring each session is delivered with rigour and sensitivity to pupils’ needs.
Since implementing the programme, we have seen a marked improvement in pupil behaviour, alongside a reduction in the recurrence of behaviours that initially led to suspension or internal exclusion.
The programme has strengthened our approach to reintegration and restorative practice, enabling us to demonstrate a coherent strategy when engaging with external stakeholders, including Ofsted. It has also provided a more cost-effective, outcomes-driven alternative to external provision or PRUs.
Most importantly, it equips pupils with the understanding and tools to reflect, take responsibility and succeed within our school environment. We are grateful to PGS for their partnership and the positive impact the programme is having across our school.”

Lily Hale
Head of Year 11 – Charter School East Dulwich
“PGS Educators delivered a highly engaging one-day workshop for a group of our Year 11 students, focused on relationships, belonging and accountability, with a clear emphasis on preparation for GCSEs and life beyond school.
The facilitator was highly motivational and relatable, enabling students to engage openly and reflect meaningfully on their choices, responsibilities and future goals. At a crucial point in their education, students responded extremely positively to the clear and purposeful messaging.
The workshop was impactful, well-structured and highly relevant, and we would strongly recommend PGS Educators to schools seeking to raise aspirations at key transition points.”
