 Real Life Education (RLE)


RLE delivers a mentor-led L.I.F.E. Programme as a single integrated model of support across residential care, education, alternative provision and community settings.


The  programme supports young people and the teams around them to build stability, confidence and practical life skills through consistent relational practice embedded within existing systems and settings. 

Integrated clinical, consultancy and training input form part of the delivery model.

The Power Of Mentoring

Jordan Turner - Former Professional Rugby League Player

CORE MODEL - The L.I.F.E. Programme®️


A structured framework:


Engagement

Stability

Development

Transition



OUR METHOD


Our approach is underpinned by the R.E.A.L. Mentoring Method, a relationship-first model ensuring consistent, emotionally attuned and learning-focused practice.

'YOU CAN TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND'

Rugby International star, Suaia Matagi instills a never give up mindset and encourages our young people to continue to chase their dreams.


'My new sense of purpose is to help inspire people to not make the same mistakes that I did - and show those who have made bad choices that it isn't over when you hit prison or go the wrong way and I am proof of that, my story helps light up the path towards success'

When young people are supported over time to build connection, competence and confidence, outcomes change

The fastest-growing skills in today’s world aren’t just technical - they’re deeply human: resilience, adaptability, creative and analytical thinking, motivation and lifelong learning.
Yet many young people - particularly those in care or excluded from school - aren’t supported to develop these skills in consistent, meaningful ways.

The Problem

 Every week, an average of 220 young people are permanently excluded from school. 

Each exclusion is estimated to cost the state £370,000 over a lifetime and the personal cost to a young person’s future can be even greater. 

10x

Young people in care are 10 times more likely to be excluded from school than their peers.

RLE supporting team Wigan & Leigh

 We’re proud to announce that RLE is sponsoring the Charity Golf Day on 20th June, alongside many other local businesses such as JJH Building Contractors Ltd Builders and Greenmount Projects, supporting Team Wigan and Leigh and Wigan and Leigh Hospice. ⛳️
This fantastic event has already raised over £13,000 to help fund the vital care and support Wigan and Leigh Hospice provides to individuals and families in our community. We’re honoured to be part of such a meaningful initiative.
Best of luck to our very own Jordan Turner and all the teams taking part - we’re excited for a memorable day on the course, all in support of this incredible cause.

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 COMMITMENT TO SAFEGUARDING


 

Safeguarding is central to everything we do. We are committed to creating safe, supportive environments where young people are protected, valued and empowered to thrive.

We work in collaboration with appropriate professionals where specialist support is required. Mentors do not provide therapy, diagnosis or clinical intervention.
