Norwich to launch radical education project for ages four to 18
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 14:01 · Archive
A new education project called The Portal will open in Norwich in 2027, serving children aged four to 18 with an alternative approach to mainstream schooling.
The Portal is a new education initiative set to launch in Norwich in 2027, offering what its founders describe as a radically different approach to mainstream schooling. It will serve children and young people aged four to 18, operating from multiple sites across Norwich and the surrounding areas.
Each child and young person at The Portal will co-produce their own Individual Living and Learning Plan. According to Richard Draper, one of the founders, these plans provide 'foundation stones for both addressing any needs that require resolving and identifying the learning experiences and environments that child or young person wishes and needs to follow to achieve their desired living and learning outcomes'.
The project will include at least one city centre site alongside a woodland and smallholding location. A 5.5-acre woodland near the River Yare in Postwick is currently being acquired. The Portal is seeking support from the wider community, inviting parents, carers and members of the public to express interest in volunteering, employment or offering learning opportunities.
