How can we help you, your school and your students?
Sporting Chance Project works with young people across Bristol and the surrounding area — including South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, and Bath & North East Somerset — to fulfil the potential they all possess.
We support young people who struggle in mainstream school, including those excluded from school or at risk of exclusion, and those with SEN, an EHCP, or social and emotional needs. We engage with parents and fellow professionals to secure real outcomes that support each young person's life journey.
We provide mentoring and life skills coaching, construction workshops, and alternative learning provision — spanning foundational literacy and maths through to accredited Functional Skills Maths and English.
Mentoring & Life Skills
One-to-one mentoring and life skills coaching for ages 5–19, with education from foundational literacy and maths through to Functional Skills, working closely with parents and educational authorities.
Construction Workshops
Hands-on construction trades for 14–19 year olds, including SEN students, with accredited Functional Skills pathways in a safe, structured workshop environment.
Alternative Learning Provision
Education from foundational literacy and maths through to Functional Skills, plus cooking, money management, animal care, sports & fitness, and employability for ages 5–19, including those with SEN or an EHCP.

Success Stories
Sporting Chance Project Mentors played a key part in supporting a very complex and vulnerable permanently excluded young person. A carefully coordinated programme of mentoring support and education enabled the young person to achieve Maths and English Literature and Language (Grade 4+) and access college, avoiding a second permanent exclusion. It is an example of true collaboration between the education setting and AP having a successful impact on a young person's life.

Education provision
Our education arm will be Supporting Children's Pathways, a charitable not-for-profit. Until that transition, Sporting Chance Project continues to deliver education across ages 5–19 — from foundational literacy and maths, through transitional pathways, to accredited Functional Skills Maths and English.
