Keys Inclusion Pathways offer trauma-informed and technology-enabled learning opportunities for children and young people who cannot access traditional or specialist schools.
Keys Inclusion Pathways take education beyond the classroom, providing personalised, future-focused pathways that place each learner’s needs at the centre. We assume nothing and are ambitious for every learner. With a focus on clear planned transitions, Keys Inclusion Pathways enable measurable progress through skilled support.
The pathway includes Keys Engage, Keys Tuition, Keys Alternative Learning and Keys Online School.

Our Keys Inclusion Pathways include approaches that can be used individually or blended to create a bespoke programme.
Each approach supports a specific stage of a learner’s journey, with a common focus on transition back into school or onward to a positive next destination such as education, employment, or training whenever possible.
Every Keys Inclusion Pathways plan is bespoke. We design around the learner—not the label—integrating the right elements, at the right time, in the right sequence.

Keys Engage provides early stabilising input, creating a secure foundation from which learners can move confidently into Keys Tuition as their readiness for more structured learning increases.

Keys Tuition builds on that foundation through personalised academic support, offering a pathway into Keys Alternative Learning or, where appropriate, full-time education and training for young people who require focused knowledge and skills-based development.

Keys Alternative Learning extends this journey by preparing learners for greater independence when flexible, curriculum-led learning is both clinically and academically appropriate. The programme supports transition into Keys Online School or other full-time education or training.

Keys Online School completes the pathway by delivering full-time, accredited online provision that enables reintegration or onward transition, while retaining flexibility to reconnect with earlier stages if intensity needs to reduce.
Together, Keys Engage, Keys Tuition, Keys Alternative Learning and Keys Online School form a continuous pathway in which support levels shift as children stabilise, ensuring personalised provision, better outcomes and smooth transitions without multiple service handoffs.
