Welcome to EST Education CIC

We are an approved education provider for the local authority, based in Salford, Greater Manchester.

We offer trauma-informed holistic support and alternative education programmes for young people in Salford, who are currently unable to access full-time education.

Our support meets the needs of children and young people with social, emotional or mental health needs, emotionally based school avoidance, trauma and/or risk taking behaviours. We also support young people with neurodiversity - studies show that neurodivergent people are disproportionately more likely to experience mental health struggles like anxiety and depression.

It is our vision that our young people, and their families, walk through the door of EST Education, leave behind any negative experiences of education and have a place where they feel truly valued, cared for and supported to be all they can be.
