About PASTways
At Pastways, we provide a supportive and engaging alternative to traditional schooling for young people aged 10–16.
Our personalised programs are designed for students who may find mainstream education challenging—helping them thrive both academically and emotionally.
With a caring, qualified team based in Sheffield, we offer a safe and nurturing environment where every student is supported to grow in confidence, build resilience, and reach their full potential.
We’re here to guide not just students, but families and carers too—working together to create brighter futures and lasting success.
At the heart of our work is our name — PASTways — which stands for Personal, Achievable, Supported Targets. This reflects our commitment to creating individualised journeys that support every learner in reaching their full potential.

Barry, Youth Justice Team
They do some fantastic work with the young people placed there. The staff are amazing and manage to help the youngsters to achieve when the mainstream school's can't. They deserve more recognition for the work they do.
Parent of a Student
My son moved here recently and after a few days, he settled in perfectly. I couldn't ask for a better team who supported my son right up to the end. He has made friends and met people he can turn to outside of his school. I couldn't ask for more support than these ladies gave to both me and my son. I wish he had gone sooner as the help and strategies they have provided have been fantastic and detrimental to us all. Thanks so much to Pat and everyone at Pastways 🙏 ❤️''
Megan, University Student
It was such a privilege to be a member of the P.A.S.T Ways team as part of my university placement. The provision absolutely has the best interests of the children and young people that it serves at its heart, and gives up on no-one. The staff team were so supportive and went out of their way to help me, as a volunteer, inspiring me towards the next steps of my chosen career path
