St Paul’s Centre is a not-for-profit organisation offering alternative learning opportunities for 11-18 year olds who struggle in mainstream education and who are at risk of exclusion.

St Paul’s Boxing Academy has a long and distinguished history of working with young people and creating champions. St Paul’s Centre builds directly on this tradition by combining the best in boxing training with other learning activities – in this way young people develop discipline, improve their self- esteem and find the confidence to focus on their personal aspirations.

The links between physical activity and improved learning outcomes are well known.

‘The evidence shows a strong link between physically active children and improved self-esteem, confidence, attention span and …. academic achievements.’ Professor Charlie Foster (Change4Life Evidence Review, July 2015)

Boxing training works! Complex body movements and keen co-ordination help to develop personal skills and inspire confidence – these are the building blocks for learning. At St Paul’s Centre we plan individual programmes which combine the discipline and ethos of boxing and other sports training with education and mentoring in order to re-engage young people with learning.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” bg_position=”left top” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” bg_color=”#0c518a” top_padding=”10″ bottom_padding=”10″][vc_column width=”1/3″ animation=”none” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″][vc_column_text]

What we do

At St Paul’s PDC we are unconditional in our commitment to improving the life opportunities for young people. We build trust in order to challenge negative attitudes and build confidence.Our ethos is one of respect for all – we listen without judgement.

Our experience is that young people in particular disengage with learning for a variety of reasons but everyone possesses unique and extraordinary skills and talents – many of which are acquired in coping with chaotic or troubling circumstances.

A minority of young people will struggle to find their place in mainstream education and consciously or unconsciously become marginalised. At St Paul’s PDC we offer a personalised, alternative, motivating curriculum which aims to tap into the talents and abilities of young people currently disengaged from learning in order that they have the chance to grow, learn and achieve.

We use boxing and other physical and sporting activities to develop discipline, positive attitudes and self-esteem and to build relationships with adult coaches, other students and the local and wider community.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” bg_position=”left top” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” bg_color=”#0c518a” top_padding=”10″ bottom_padding=”10″][vc_column width=”1/3″ animation=”none” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″][vc_column_text]
