PARTNERSHIP & GOVERNANCE
THE TURNAROUND HUB
AP & SCHOOL SUPPORT
Re-Engaging the Disengaged: Alternative Provision & School Support. Body: For young people struggling within the mainstream school system - those facing suspension, permanent exclusion, or navigating Alternative Provision - the studio serves as a "Turnaround Hub."
We don't just teach music; we use it as a vehicle to understand Choices and Consequences. Our mentors work one-on-one to help students move away from impulsive, risky behaviors and toward making informed, life-affirming decisions.
Using our multi-media area as a multi-functional classroom and sensory space, we give these young people the tools to voice their thoughts, feelings, and worries in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Whether they are processing trauma or celebrating a personal breakthrough, our studio is the canvas for their growth.

F.A.Qs
We answer frequently asked questions from professionals and practitioners here
We wouldn’t expect the students to do anything in particular in preparation, although it may be worth asking them to reflect on aspects of the subject/issue ahead of the session (Mental Health, Hate Crime, Road Safety, Racial Disparity, Criminal Exploitation etc)
Our session can work practically anywhere within a School Environment. However, we are big advocates of rooms with lots of space as we feel it encourages creativity. A conference room or assembly hall usually works well.
It isn’t a necessity but we usually request access to a Monitor, with Speakers. (We can provide a Microphone if the size of the presentation requires one) Note: If your IT department Firewall external Laptops, then we would need access to an online computer.
A flip chart, marker pens and oversize paper for group exercises work well. Individuals should bring along or be provided with standard Pen and Paper too as often the group is broken down for individual input too.
MMAP Workshops have worked with varied numbers of students (1-300) The amount of support may depend on attendance. We usually suggest ONE teacher for up to 20 Students. TWO Teachers for 20-40 Students and up to FOUR Plus for Assembly Sized Presentations.
Quinton and the MMAP Facilitators have delivered varied workshops to Young People and Adults from all backgrounds and demographics. We are particularly popular with those of Secondary School Age and we adapt our Workshops depending on learning ability.
We also have experience working in varied environments, from Primary Schools to Pupil Referral Units. Our learners range from Year 12 A Level English Students to those with Learning Difficulties, Special Educational Needs & Disabilities, Young Offenders and Ex Gang Members.
Quite a cross-section, but we feel that our experience equips us to deliver workshops effectively in various settings; Whether it’s 1 to 1s or Assembly Sized groups
