Welcome to HEAH: Lifelong Learning Hub: UKPRN: 10099027

Accredited Courses for Ages 16+

At HEAH: Open Routes for All Learners, we’re committed to being here for all learners - at every stage of their journey. The Lifelong Learning Hub is our new strand offering evening and weekend courses for those aged 16 and over, starting October 2025.

Whether you’re transitioning out of our core alternative provision, re-engaging with learning later in life, or simply looking for flexible, accredited opportunities - our hub is for you.

A Natural Next Step for HEAH Learners

For young people moving on from our Learning Hub (8–16), the Lifelong Learning Hub offers a supportive next step. It provides a chance to continue building skills, confidence, and community - with new responsibilities and adult-focused content, still guided by our trauma-informed, coaching-led approach.

It’s also open to new learners aged 16+ who are looking for a safe, inclusive place to grow.
