The Dartmoor Learning Cycle©: From Engagement to Autonomy
At Dartmoor Personalised Learning, we believe that education is not a "one-size-fits-all" delivery, but a structured journey toward independence. Our provision is built upon the Dartmoor Learning Cycle©, a proprietary five-stage pedagogical framework designed to deconstruct barriers and rebuild cognitive stamina.
Whether we are supporting a young person through a period of educational instability, assisting an adult in a career transition, or advising a Local Authority on systemic provision, our mission remains the same: to move from Connection to Autonomy.
We offer three distinct, personalised pathways. Each is managed with the operational rigour of PRINCE2® project management and the clinical insight of Senior SEND Leadership, ensuring that every hour of intervention is purposeful, measurable, and aligned with long-term goals.

Commissioning & Strategic Intake
The selection of an educational pathway is a clinical decision based on the learner’s current stability, EHCP outcomes, and long-term goals for autonomy. To ensure the most effective alignment between our methodology and the learner’s profile, we operate a structured intake process.
Initial Strategic Diagnostic
All new individual casework begins with a Strategic Diagnostic & Roadmap Session (£50). This 30-minute consultation allows for a high-level review of the learner’s history and current barriers. Following this session, a formal Pathway Recommendation will be issued, outlining the proposed stabilisation cycle or academic framework.
Professional & Statutory Enquiries
For Local Authorities, schools, or organisations seeking to commission "Hard-to-Reach" re-engagement or EOTAS provision, please contact us to arrange a Commissioning Briefing.
The Three Strategic Pathways
Every engagement at Dartmoor Personalised Learning is mapped to one of three professional pathways.
Each follows our proprietary Connect | Understand | Practice | Apply | Reflect framework to ensure measurable progress and statutory compliance.
Pathway 01: Specialist Youth Intervention (Ages 11–25)
Stabilisation | Academic Re-engagement | EHCP Alignment
This pathway is designed for learners requiring a high-intensity, bespoke alternative to traditional schooling. We focus on rebuilding educational confidence and delivering core curriculum targets within a SEND-informed environment.
Focus: Intensive one-to-one or small-group (one-to-three) support.
Investment: £50 per hour (per learner).
Pathway 02: Adult Professional Re-engagement (Ages 19+)
Cognitive Skill-Building | Vocational Readiness | Digital Autonomy
A sophisticated framework for adults navigating career transitions or returning to education. We focus on rebuilding the fundamental cognitive architecture and digital literacy required for the modern workplace.
Focus: Moving from educational hesitation to functional, professional independence.
Investment: £50 per hour.
Pathway 03: Institutional Commissioning & Systemic Oversight
School Advisory | LA Provision | Educational Project Management
Strategic support for schools, Academy Trusts, other commissioning organisations and Local Authorities. This pathway covers complex casework, EOTAS provision, and high-level consultancy to ensure statutory obligations and educational excellence are met at a systemic level.
Focus: Full-day or half-day strategic blocks.
Investment: £750 full day / £400 half day. £100 per hour outside of full or half days, and 45p per mile travel costs (where appropriate).
The Dartmoor Learning Cycle©
Regardless of the chosen pathway, our methodology remains consistent
1. Connect
Establishing the foundational relationship and a safe, "ready to learn" environment
2. Understand
Identifying unique cognitive profiles and intrinsic motivators to deconstruct barriers
3. Practice
Developing core skills through scaffolded repetition to build stamina and confidence
4. Apply
Transferring skills into wider contexts, aligning with real-world scenarios or EHCP outcomes
5. Reflect
Metacognitive evaluation to foster long-term self-advocacy and independence
