What a great evening! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday! It was wonderful to welcome students, parents, schools and visitors through our doors to see what Crisp is all about. The evening had such a positive atmosphere and gave us the perfect opportunity to showcase who we are and what we do.
A special thank you to all of our students, past and present, who gave up their time to help and represent Crisp so brilliantly. You are a real credit to our provision, and we’re incredibly proud of you.
Thank you also to @cgltheplace for joining us. It was a great opportunity for students and visitors to ask any questions they had and to build awareness around the support that they offer.
And finally, thank you to our amazing staff. Crisp simply wouldn’t be Crisp without your teamwork, dedication, and shared purpose - building futures for tomorrow 💙

We’re incredibly excited to announce our brand-new initiative launching at Crisp Vocational Provision this October – The RESET Project!
RESET is a 6-week intervention programme designed to support students in mainstream schools before they reach the point of being at risk of permanent exclusion. Working in partnership with schools, the programme helps identify and better understand each student’s individual needs, providing the right support at the right time.
Our aim is to help schools maintain high standards while reducing the need for alternative provision, ensuring students are equipped with the skills, confidence, and support they need to successfully remain in – or return to – mainstream education before it’s too late.
A huge amount of hard work has gone into creating this programme, and we’re so proud of what Paolo and Nakita have developed to support both schools and young people.
We can’t wait to welcome our first RESET cohort in October 2026! 🙌
For more information or to find out how your school can get involved, please email Paolo on paolo@crispvocationalprovision.co.uk . ... See MoreSee Less
