Real-world learning. Real-world skills.


Welcome to Wot Wud U Do Educational Services (WWUDES), a creative alternative to traditional education, specializing in helping young people with low confidence, poor attendance, and special educational needs.

Creative Alternative Provision (Ages 11–16)

We offer a flexible and creative alternative for young people who are disengaged from mainstream education. Our approach is practical, hands-on, and project-oriented, designed to help those with low confidence, poor attendance, and special educational needs. Through this individualized training, young people re-engage with learning and prepare for the world of work. As they develop crucial social and emotional skills, we guide them through the nationally recognised Silver Arts Award qualification, building confidence and self-esteem.


Peer-Led Outreach: Young People Teaching Young People

Our unique outreach programme empowers young people to become leaders by providing a platform for them to have important conversations with their peers. This program builds confidence and leadership skills while creating a supportive environment for discussions around key issues such as mental health, bullying, relationships, and identity.

Creative resources;

We’ve developed a unique collection of creative resources, all co-created by young people, to help parents and professionals. These materials, including guidebooks, interactive videos, and lesson plans, are specifically designed to empower adults to have authentic conversations with young people about crucial topics like mental health, bullying, and identity. By using resources made by their peers, young people are more likely to engage, and these tools can also help schools and organisations hit key curriculum targets and safeguarding objectives.

"I pick up a lot of the resources off the PSHE association and some come as lesson plans where you work it out yourself, and some come as PowerPoints where you can tweak them, but none of them, are as good as these or as ready to go. All the information is on the slide, it’s detailed, there’s direct links to website and videos and there is a complete package which no other resources, I don’t think, bar maybe a couple of large charity ones, have been that ready to use.’"
