AN ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROVIDER IN CORNWALL
ReachOut Creative Futures is an alternative education provider offering a unique mixture of vocational activities alongside recognised qualifications. The program of study offers a nurturing environment for young people to achieve their full potential. We also offer a one day a week early engagement project called Springboard, to help students transition back into education. We are based at the former Seven Stars Inn, St. Austell.
ReachOut Creative Futures is one of Cornwall Council’s Approved Providers for Community Based Out of School Alternative Education.























At ReachOut, students study Maths and English (from Entry Level 1 to Level 2 – dependent on their current level), the Arts through Trinity College’s Arts Award (at Level 1 Bronze and Level 2 Silver) and gain valuable work experience in both our onsite cafe and commercial grade kitchen, and also through placements with external providers and partner organisations. The program is enriched with Independent Living Skills, Team Building activities and Health and Wellbeing. Students are also offered support throughout with their desired progression routes – whether that be further study or employment.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT
“Inspiring young people, children, families
and communities to help them grow in confidence,
self esteem and build their aspirations for a brighter future.”
“ReachOut was a turning point for me. I had been out of education for a couple of years and never imagined myself being able to go back. Anxiety has always caused me to struggle with education but the environment and atmosphere at ReachOut, as well as the programme itself, enabled me to thrive during my time there. This gave me the confidence to return to mainstream education and I am now enrolled on a full time college course. I know that if it hadn’t been for ReachOut I wouldn’t have made it to this point.” (from a former student – class of 2021)
