Contact Orchard Thrive CIC

If you’re worried a child is drifting further away from education, get in touch. A short conversation is often enough to work out if we’re the right fit and what the next step should be.

Start with an enquiry

The easiest first step is to send us a quick message. Tell us what’s been happening and what you’re hoping to achieve, and we’ll come back to you to talk it through. We’ll ask a few simple questions, explain what we can offer, and tell you honestly if we’re the right provision for the child or young person.

If you’re ready to make a referral

If you already have the information gathered and you’re ready to refer, you can email us with a brief outline of the young person’s needs and the type of support you’re looking for. We’ll confirm the next step and guide you through the process.

Where we’re based

Our educational suite is based in Meadowfield, Durham, and we support children and young people across County Durham and Darlington.

What to include
(to help us respond quickly)

If you can, include the young person’s age, what’s been happening (in a sentence or two), what support is currently in place, and what outcome you’re hoping for.

You won’t be pushed into anything. We’ll listen first, then suggest a simple plan.
