About Rekindle

Rekindle exists to create fierce critical thinkers who believe in themselves, question inherited truths, and learn in joyful, creative ways. We do this by developing a youth-led supplementary school provision which nurtures and supports working class young people (aged 11 - 14) who have faced numerous challenges on their education journey but still have a passion to learn and achieve their aspirations.

Our primary focus is to design an approach that offers support, connection, hope, and aspiration — one that pushes young people to believe they can be more, while first laying strong foundations of trust.
