What is Aiming High?
Up to 56 hours of individual support is available from the Aiming High programme to help young people with a Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND) towards achieving their dreams or goals and to develop essential life skills for their future.
Young people are free to choose the skills they would like to develop or activities that they would like to try and we can help to achieve individual goals
Who can take part in Aiming High activities?
To take part, young people must be 11-18 years old with a Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND) and live in Staffordshire.
Young people up to the age of 25 can also take part if they have an Education Health and Care Plan and are not already accessing Adult Social Care services.
Support is free however some activities accessed as part of this may need to be paid for.
