Across Oxfordshire, 16,654 young people each year are persistently absent from education. That’s more than 1 in 10 locally. Many are struggling with anxiety, neurodiversity, unmet SEND, or challenges at home, and are at risk of slipping out of sight.

One-Eighty is the only charity bridging the gap between mental health and education across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. We meet young people where they are - at home, in school or in the community - helping them rebuild confidence, reconnect with learning, and return to, or stay in, education. We also support schools and professionals before things reach crisis point.
