Many of our learners arrive at Pivot Leeds having found mainstream education overwhelming — often due to social interaction needs, anxiety or sensory sensitivity. Our therapeutic offer is built around relational practice: staff trained to notice what others might miss, and to build the kind of trust that makes learning possible again.

Our LINKS provision, based in its own bespoke building, is dedicated to learners with anxiety and emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA) — a quieter route back into education for young people who need one. Support is never an add-on here. It’s part of how every day works.
