Alternative Provision Bracknell Berkshire

Want to learn and succeed with Video Games or Music? This is the place for you.

Welcome to Enemy of Boredom Academy an Alternative Provision in Bracknell, Berkshire.

Our venue is in the heart of Bracknell town center on a quiet, pedestrianised street, offering a calm and peaceful atmosphere. EOB have the entire floor dedicated solely to our students, ensuring a safe and supportive environment.

The space includes exciting features such as a VR hut with headsets, a Pong table, a large screen to gather to game with more than one person and a driving rig, offering fun, interactive experiences. These areas also encourage our students to socialise together, take turns, and enjoy themselves.

The venue is easily accessible via public transport, and many students take this opportunity to build independence as they transition into adulthood. It’s particularly rewarding that most students have previously been unable to access a high street or shops without family support, so our location gives them the chance to independently explore shops, restaurants, and fast food outlets. Students often socialise and enjoy lunch together, further enhancing their confidence and independence.

A Student story from Enemy Of Boredom Academy, Bracknell, Berkshire.

We’re incredibly proud of one of our older students who recently made an important step toward independence. Due to their neurodiverse needs and high anxiety, they’ve always needed a close family member with them when going out. But last week, with support from one of our team members, they walked through town to buy a Mother’s Day card for their mum. After this success, they felt confident enough to go out with three other students to pick up lunch from McDonald’s (without our team member). While it may seem like a small step to some, for this student, it represents a major achievement in gaining independence. We’re so pleased to see the progress they’re making, and it’s a reminder of the positive strides they continue to take. We couldn’t be more thrilled to witness this young person’s growth and newfound sense of independence.

In 2024, over 90 percent of our Level 3 students in Video Games Design achieved a merit or distinction (up to 24 UCAS points).

What a student has to say about working with us.

The tools I used at EOB were advanced – way more professional than I thought it would be – which has been great to get into the world of games design.
