About Gateways

Gateways believe that every young person should have the same opportunity to progress and thrive, regardless of the challenges they face. A growing number of young people struggle to function within mainstream education with many believing that there is no other option available to them.

As an alternative education provider, Gateways offers bespoke teaching for each student, all requiring another approach to learning.

Students attending Gateways are ages 14+, they generally struggle to remain in mainstream school, due to poor mental health, critical illnesses and social and emotion challenges, preventing them from accessing the education they deserve.

Delivering a broad curriculum, this unique offering in the UK Jewish community, caters for the interests, abilities and specific needs of each students and prepares them for a life beyond education.

The opportunities you give to students such as Daniel, are life changing, in a world where they struggle to fit the conventions.
