Former girls’ school in London to reopen as pioneering youth hub

Oasis St Martin's Village will offer mentoring and other help for at-risk young people and is intended to be first of many

One of the UK's first girls' schools is to reopen in September as the first of a series of youth hubs for young people at risk of falling out of education and into crime.

St Martin-in-the-Fields high school for girls in Tulse Hill, south London, will be reinvented as Oasis St Martin's Village, offering mentoring and one-to-one therapeutic care for vulnerable young people who are in danger of being excluded.
