At Dragon Group, we use coding to help learners re-engage with education
through creativity and technology.
Through hands-on projects and personalised support, students build
confidence, digital skills and positive pathways for the future.
Our coding programme supports KS2–KS5 Alternative Provision learners through small groups, 1:1 sessions and remote learning options. Students learn through creative digital projects that develop problem solving, teamwork and employability skills.
Skills Stream supports Alternative Provision learners by turning coding into interactive, project-based learning rather than traditional lessons.
Its visual approach, clear progression and flexible structure allow students to learn at their own pace, whether in centre or remotely, while building real digital skills and confidence.
Learning is hands-on and project-based. Students create games, solve coding challenges and develop real digital skills in a calm, supportive learning environment, either in centre or remotely.

Sport and recreation at Dragon Group is designed to re-engage learners, build confidence and support well-being. Activities are shaped around individual interests to create a positive and motivating experience.
Sessions are delivered through small groups or 1:1 support, both on-site and in the community. Provision may vary depending on the centre and available facilities.
Learners are encouraged to take part at their own pace, supporting confidence, engagement and personal development.
