Classes normally have a maximum of 6 students per class, with a teacher and learning mentor. There is also considerable pastoral support including, qualified EAL teachers. Breakfasts and lunches are free to all students.
Footsteps holds regular parent/carer evenings and works closely with parents and referrers to ensure that each individual student has the opportunity to achieve their best outcomes. Weekly reports are sent to the student’s home and referrer.
Inspirational speakers, professionals, organisations, and agencies are brought in to enhance the student's experience via workshops and courses. During their final year, year 11 students are robustly assisted to access places in 6th forms, colleges, training and apprenticeship schemes. This includes identifying suitable courses, assisting with applications, and completing CVs and references.
