▸ WELCOME

Welcome to our Hyde centre.

In the quiet area of Gee Cross, young people can feel relaxed and at home in our Games Design room.

Our venue

Located on the 1st floor of Aqua Nurture, with access to a cafe downstairs and plenty of parking. A secure and quiet location which can be easily accessed for our students.

Our environment

Like all EOB venues, young people’s anxiety is always at the forefront of our minds. Every part of our learning space has been designed with this at the heart of what we do; we want our students to walk into the room feeling relaxed, to be supported by experienced and caring staff to give our students the best experience. It’s not just about the qualifications, we want our students to find themselves, thrive and become more confident individuals.

The area

Easily accessible by public transport, helping students build independence. We’ll be honest… the area is quiet and it is the opposite of a bustling town centre however for students who have permission to go off-site, we recommend to bring a pack-lunch, stretch their legs and grab some air during break-times. It is super chilled.

▸ The feel of the venue

Calm, respect, and belonging.

The atmosphere at our venue is one of calm, respect, and inclusivity. We provide an environment where every student feels valued, understood, and comfortable. Our space is relaxed, with friendly staff and a community that fosters positive connections. 

By giving our students a space where they feel safe and supported, we enable them to learn and achieve their full potential. 

We’re committed to providing a place where our students can thrive, knowing they are in an environment where their well-being is the priority and their needs are respected.

▸ A student story

A big step toward independence.

My son started at Enemy Of Boredom in Hyde, Manchester in September. 
He has struggled to fit in in previous education provisions as he never felt like he was a good fit in mainstream or special education.  Although it’s only been a couple of months he is very settled. I feel this is due to the relaxed atmosphere and no pressure and the fact that room is not like a classroom.  He’s made to feel like a young adult not a child. The lead tutor seems to create a relaxed environment which my son works well in. 
 
Although it’s still early days I would highly recommend.

▸ A STUDENT'S VOICE

"

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.
