HEAH: Open Routes Learning Hub: -UKPRN: 10099027

A trauma-informed, creative alternative for learners aged 8–16

Opening September 2025 at Anerley Works, SE20

HEAH: Open Routes CIC offers a referral-only, part-time alternative provision for learners aged 8–16 who are currently:

• Out of school
• Struggling in mainstream
• Awaiting placements or EHCPs
• Emotionally disengaged or home educated and needing additional support

Our Learning Hub provides up to 17 hours per week of structured, therapeutic education that meets learners where they are - emotionally, academically, and developmentally. Delivery is small-scale, relationship-led and designed in close partnership with families and professionals.

Founded by a registered social worker and qualified educator, HEAH combines professional safeguarding standards with creative, coaching-led practice and whole-family support.
