Why Choose Enemy Of Boredom 

How Education Other than at School Works with Enemy Of Boredom Academy Through our Music Course.

Flexibility and quality education delivered by our team at Enemy Of Boredom can be part of your EOTAS planning. 

EOATAS Packages: We are approved by many local authorities and through our alternative provision status can help with the education of your young person.

EOTAS

Students can progress through the levels at EOB to strengthen their future prospects

Level 3 students can apply for University if a Diploma is studied or they take on a foundation year at Uni.

The majority of our students are neurodiverse and the thought of transitions can send them into ‘shutdown’ due to anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. We therefore have to approach transitions carefully. As such we work hard with the parents, case workers and referral partners on an individual basis to support the student's progression ensuring it is the best fit for them and handled sensitively.

However, for the whole setting, we offer career days on 3 dates per year and house partner companies to talk about careers and job opportunities. We have links to Universities and have overview days with them. We also identify routes for employment and talk these through with students across the academic year.
