LRL Outreach

Intervene before disengagement becomes absence or exclusion.

LRL Outreach is a structured in-school programme for pupils whose confidence, regulation, relationships or engagement are beginning to affect attendance and learning. It combines explicit personal-development teaching with practical challenge, reflection and pupil voice, while the pupil remains part of the school community.

What schools receive

A taught intervention, not an activity day.

Every session has a learning objective and a consistent sequence. Practical activities are chosen because they create opportunities to practise the behaviours and skills the school wants to see transfer back into lessons and wider school life.

4 × 1-hour sessionsA full outreach day that can reach different groups while keeping each cohort small.
Up to 6 pupilsEnough space for active participation, coaching, discussion and individual feedback.
12-week sequenceTime to practise, revisit and consolidate skills rather than relying on a one-off motivational intervention.
Personalised activitiesThe practical challenge is selected around the group’s needs, interests and barriers.
Pre and post PASS assessmentA structured measure can sit alongside pupil voice and school observations.
Pupil voiceLearners reflect on what helped, what changed and where they still need support.
Session architecture

Each session moves from reflection to action.

Pupils explore ideas around resilience, choices, confidence, communication and regulation, then test them through practical challenge and identify where the same skills are needed in school.

ReflectA short check-in and review of recent experiences.
UnderstandExplore a relevant idea around resilience, choices, mindset, confidence or regulation.
PractiseComplete a practical activity linked to communication, leadership, problem solving or resilience.
ApplyIdentify where the same skill could be used in school, at home or in the community.
VoiceCapture pupil feedback and an individual next step.
What schools should see changing

Success is what transfers back into school.

Before delivery starts, we agree a small number of outcomes that matter to the school and the pupils. Progress should be noticeable in lessons, relationships, attendance or readiness to learn, not only during the outreach session itself.

Need to intervene before a placement starts to break down?

Tell us what staff are seeing, which pupils you are concerned about and what needs to improve. We will be clear about whether Outreach is the right intervention and what a 12-week programme should focus on.

SEND & attendance
Support for young people whose additional needs and attendance difficulties are closely connected.

Many of the young people we support have SEND alongside EBSA, persistent absence or severe absence. We consider both: what is making education difficult to access, and what will help the young person take part and keep taking part.
