Primary and secondary schools
We help schools respond to an escalating social, emotional and mental health crisis and the growing number of school exclusions.
Overview of our work with schools
We’ve been working with schools since 2001 and have helped over 27,000 children in young people to build happy lives during this time. Our programmes are designed to help those who are at risk of not reaching their full potential and support them to develop crucial life skills, improve confidence and boost self-esteem through group and one-to-one mentoring.

Our outcomes
Since 2001, the children and young people we’ve worked with have consistently achieved excellent outcomes.
improve their wellbeing
improve their confidence
improve their engagement with school and learning
One of the evident and most obvious impacts of the programme on these young people was that the day when the session was on was the day that they would be in. When you want very simple evidence of how much a youngster values something, that’s the quickest and easiest way.
Katherine Kilbane, Assistant Headteacher at Denton Community College, has seen first-hand the difference our programmes make. The students she referred built confidence, reconnected with learning and developed the emotional tools they need to succeed. For Katherine and her team, our partnership wasn’t just about short-term support but about creating long-lasting change in young people’s lives.
Endorsements
The programme has supported students who have struggled with attendance issues or had problems fitting in. It has allowed them to grow and become more self-aware and positive about themselves.
It’s wonderful having Power2 colleagues in our school. There are so many of our young people facing complex difficulties and in need of support, having this provision on site allow many more of our young people to receive 1:1 support and build a trusting working relationship.
Power2 offers excellent transformative programmes for children and young people to increase their engagement, creating positive relationships with their education and therefore reducing persistent absenteeism.
