About our Inclusion Pathways
Creating personalised routes that support learners to progress into wider Keys education, training and employment opportunities.
Keys Inclusion Pathways offer trauma-informed and technology-enabled learning opportunities for children and young people who cannot access traditional or specialist schools.
Keys Inclusion Pathways take education beyond the classroom, providing personalised, future-focused pathways that place each learner’s needs at the centre. We assume nothing and are ambitious for every learner. With a focus on clear planned transitions, Keys Inclusion Pathways enable measurable progress through skilled support.
The pathway includes Keys Engage, Keys Tuition, Keys Alternative Learning and Keys Online School.
Discover Keys Inclusion Pathways
Our Keys Inclusion Pathways include approaches that can be used individually or blended to create a bespoke programme.
Each approach supports a specific stage of a learner’s journey, with a common focus on transition back into school or onward to a positive next destination such as education, employment, or training whenever possible.
Every Keys Inclusion Pathways plan is bespoke. We design around the learner—not the label—integrating the right elements, at the right time, in the right sequence.
Keys Engage
Keys Engage provides the earliest stabilising input, forming the foundation from which learners can progress seamlessly into any other Keys offering in education, training or employment.
Keys Tuition
Keys Tuition builds on that foundation with personalised academic support, offering a pathway any other Keys offering in education, training or employment, in contexts where a young person requires specific knowledge and skills‑based development.
Keys Alternative Learning
Keys Alternative Learning extends this journey by preparing learners for greater independence when flexible, curriculum-led learning is both clinically and academically appropriate. The programme supports transition into any other Keys offering in education, training or employment.
Keys Online School
Keys Online School completes the pathway by delivering full-time, accredited online provision that enables reintegration or onward transition, while retaining flexibility to reconnect with earlier stages if intensity needs to reduce.
Together, Keys Engage, Keys Tuition, Keys Alternative Learning and Keys Online School form a continuous pathway in which support levels shift as children stabilise, ensuring personalised provision, better outcomes and smooth transitions without multiple service handoffs.
