What are people saying about
Pathfinder Education
“I just want to say what a positive effect Pathfinder has been for my son, his behaviour has been significantly more positive since he has started Pathfinder. At home the violence has come down significantly which is amazing.
I also want to say I have found Stu to be very understanding and empathetic towards my son and me. I cannot thank Stu enough.” (Parent)
“Across all evaluation areas, leaders at Pathfinder Education have developed a clear and ambitious framework for high-quality alternative provision. Safeguarding and induction processes are strong, and the curriculum is ambitious, combining core, vocational and personal development strands to support positive progression” (Walsall LA Quality Assurance September 2025)
“Plans for staff support and wellbeing are well thought through and demonstrate a strong commitment to creating a reflective and sustainable culture. Leaders show a strong moral purpose, recognising that for many pupils this may be their last chance to succeed, and are committed to accepting learners whose needs they can fully meet. Leaders are proactive and responsive to advice, showing clear capacity to embed and refine systems to secure positive outcomes for pupils” (Walsall LA Quality Assurance September 2025)
