A Real Life Ed

At Real Life Education (RLE), we Engage, Empower, and Evolve children and young people through a holistic blend of mentoring, therapeutic support, and education.

We believe that every young person regardless of their background deserves the opportunity to thrive.

Our mission is to empower young people to improve their well-being, strengthen their self-worth, build essential life skills, and achieve meaningful qualifications.

By taking a holistic and real-life approach, we’re not only transforming the lives of young people, but also uplifting their families and communities.

Our Approach

Mentoring to guide and inspire each young person on their personal journey.

Therapeutic & clinical services to support emotional and mental well-being.

Educational pathways tailored to individual strengths, goals, and needs.

We provide practical, personalised support that adapts to the unique circumstances of each young person, always placing their voice and experience at the centre of everything we do.

Our Commitment

Inclusivity is at the heart of RLE.
We welcome and support young people from all walks of life, ensuring they have access to the tools, guidance, and opportunities they need to build a brighter future.

REAL LEARNING PLAN (RLP)

The Real Learning Plan (RLP)/baseline assessment is the cornerstone of our educational philosophy - a personalised roadmap crafted to navigate each young person’s unique and bespoke learning journey.

Developed collaboratively, the RLP identifies previous and current strengths, areas for growth, learning preferences, and both educational and life goals.

By tailoring supportive methods to meet each young person’s specific needs, the RLP fosters a learning experience that is not only effective but also meaningful and relevant.

More than just meeting educational standards, the RLP is about empowering young people to reach their full potential.

OUR VISION - OUR MISSION

What Guides Our Work

Our work is guided by three core pillars:

Person-Centered, Practical and Purpose-Driven.

These principles shape how we support young people to discover and develop their inner champion-the part of them that believes, persists and leads with purpose.

Person-Centered

We put young people at the heart of everything we do - recognising their individuality and supporting them to lead their own journey.

Empowerment

We help young people connect with their inner champion by building confidence, self-belief and ownership over their path.

Inclusivity

We create spaces where every young person feels safe, seen, and supported- regardless of background or identity.

Authenticity

We foster honest, real connections that encourage young people to express who they truly are.

Practical

We focus on building real-life skills that strengthen each young person’s ability to thrive- both in their everyday life and in an ever-changing world.

Drawing on the Future of Jobs 2025 report, we focus on nurturing key skills that are not only valued by today’s employers, but also essential for personal wellbeing and growth:

Analytical Thinking - Building the ability to pause, reflect, and make thoughtful choices.
Creative Thinking - Encouraging flexible, open-ended thinking and problem-solving.
Resilience, Flexibility & Agility Strengthening emotional adaptability in the face of change or challenge.
Motivation & Self-Awareness Cultivating inner drive, clarity, and a deeper understanding of self.
Curiosity & Lifelong Learning Fostering a mindset of ongoing growth by encouraging young people to stay curious, reflective, and open to new experiences. These qualities help them remain engaged, adaptable and committed to continuous personal development skills that serve them well throughout life.

Purpose-Driven We support young people to live intentionally-building the mindset and vision to move forward with clarity and resilience.

Growth Mindset

We encourage young people to embrace setbacks as stepping stones, developing the inner strength to keep going.

Future-Focused Thinking

We help young people identify what matters to them, set meaningful goals and take steps toward their purpose.

Adam & JT at The Rugby League Cares Q1 Club Wellbeing Managers Meeting

Discussing their journeys so far, the impact RLE is having on children and young people and how rugby league equips players with invaluable transferable skills into other careers, including MENTORING.

Our model combines our in-house clinical team & mentoring service - engaging, empowering and evolving vulnerable young people and the team around the child with bespoke programmes, interventions and training. It’s this combination

of professionals and life experienced aspirational mentors and coaches that has proven to have a transformative effect.

We look forward to offering the opportunity of joining the growing RLE team to many more current professional rugby league players - especially those who are going part time and those who are transitioning out of the game.

OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFEGUARDING

At Real Life Education (RLE), safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do.

We are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where all young people feel protected, valued, and empowered to thrive.

We take a proactive approach to safeguarding, ensuring that our staff, mentors, and partners are fully trained to recognize and respond to any concerns.
