We are a team of educators, advocates, and learning specialists who have first-hand experience supporting children and families through the complex challenges of school-related trauma. Some of us have faced these struggles with our own children, and we know how frustrating, isolating, and overwhelming it can feel.

That’s why we built Schooled Out—to create a bridge back to learning for children who have been let down by the system.

Our work is about more than just education; it’s about recovery, rebuilding, and reconnecting. We provide:
Personal Learning Plans – Customized approaches that meet each child where they are.
Recovery Tutoring – A trauma-sensitive learning experience that rebuilds confidence.
Parental Support & Guidance – Helping families navigate EHCPs, funding, and alternative education options.
Expert Advocacy – Ensuring children get the support and educational access they deserve.
A Safe Learning Environment – Built around each child’s needs, not the school system’s expectations.

Many children struggling with school aren’t just resistant to learning—they’re responding to an environment that has failed them. A rigid system, overcrowded classrooms, and a lack of emotional safety can all lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and disengagement.

At Schooled Out, we take a science-backed, child-centered approach:
🧠 Learning as Therapy – Education is more than just content; it’s a tool for healing.
🌱 Trauma-Informed Teaching – We understand the neurological and psychological barriers to learning and work with them, not against them.
🎯 Individualized Support – There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Every child’s path back to learning is unique.

Schooled Out was created by educators who have lived this journey—both professionally and personally. Our founder, Louise, has dedicated her career to working with children who have experienced school-based trauma. She has:
✔ First-hand experience navigating school refusal and educational trauma with her own child.
✔ A deep academic background, including postgraduate study in neuroscience and psychology.
✔ Expertise across multiple GCSE subjects, allowing children to work with just one trusted educator.
✔ A passion for making learning feel safe, meaningful, and exciting again.
