✨ BIG NEWS AT PINK ACADEMY ✨

We’re so proud to officially announce that Pink Academy is now an approved centre to deliver Functional Skills Maths & English qualifications! 🎉

This is such a huge milestone for us and another exciting step towards becoming a more complete educational pathway for our learners. 💗

What does this mean?

📚 Students can now work towards recognised Maths & English qualifications alongside their beauty and nail courses
🌟 More support for learners who thrive in smaller groups and alternative education settings
🎓 Helping young people build confidence, gain qualifications, and prepare for their future
🤝 Creating even more opportunities for students who may not fit into mainstream education

Behind the scenes, we’ve worked incredibly hard to make this happen, and we’re so excited for what this means for our current and future students.

Pink Academy is continuing to grow into a supportive, welcoming place where learners can achieve qualifications, gain confidence, and feel proud of who they are. 💕

✨ BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT PINK ACADEMY… ✨

Behind the scenes, we’ve been working harder than ever to create even more opportunities for our students 💗

Late nights, meetings, paperwork, planning, believing in the dream… and today, something HUGE happened for Pink Academy 🥹

This is something we’ve wanted for such a long time — to be able to support our students even further and help create a real full-time college-style pathway for young people who deserve a different environment to thrive 🌸

We’re not sharing all the details just yet… 👀
But trust us when we say… this is a massive step forward for Pink Academy and for every student who walks through our doors ✨

We cannot WAIT to share what’s coming next with you all 💕

“Because not every learner thrives the same way.”

Did you know learners aged 16+ with an EHCP may be able to access a more supportive learning route if mainstream college doesn’t feel right?

At Pink Academy, we offer a calm, small-group environment where learners can build confidence, feel supported and work towards a qualification in nails or beauty.

This could be ideal for young people who:
✨ Need a smaller, nurturing setting
✨ Struggle with busy college environments
✨ Want practical, hands-on learning
✨ Need support with confidence and routine
✨ Have an EHCP and are looking at post-16 options

We can support learners to take their next step in a friendly, welcoming academy.

📩 Speak to your school, SEND team, support worker or local authority about whether Pink Academy could be suitable.
