Open Road Norfolk

A different path to the future

We build opportunity

We support young people to re-engage with mainstream education wherever possible — and where that’s not the right path, we equip them with the skills, confidence, and support to take their next steps into the world of work.

A different path to the future

We offer an exciting, fun, and modern training environment that focuses on skills development and character building. Our structured courses are delivered by professional instructors and lead to industry-recognised qualifications. By building strong partnerships between local schools and businesses, we help prepare young adults for real career opportunities or a way back to mainstream education.

Parents

When school isn’t working, everything feels harder — for your child, and for you.

We support young people who are struggling in mainstream education to re-engage with learning in a way that actually works for them. Whether the goal is returning to school or finding a new path entirely, we offer a calm, respectful environment where students can rebuild confidence, gain practical skills, and start to feel hopeful again. We’re here to support change — for young people and for families.
