About
Bright Stars Education, established in 2017, initially offered English language and literature tuition for secondary school students, focusing on GCSE preparation. Our excellent results led to many students advancing to top universities, with families returning each year. During the pandemic, we supported students globally, including those without school enrolment, emphasizing our inclusive approach.
Since November 2024 Bright stars has served as a vital provision for not only Telford and Wrekin council, but also for the LCT trust and Thomas Telford. Our success comes from our focus on inclusion, having particular success with school refusers. From February 2026 our Telford operation will be run from our new purpose built centre offering all facilities needed. We will also be opening our brand new centre in Stone (Staffordshire) an old restaurant that has been converted to offer core subjects, Life skills and cooking Lessons.

Meet the team
Louise Martindale
Managing Director & Founder
Our Managing Director is NASENCO qualified and is an advocate for many parents who are struggling against a complex SEN system. Our passion for providing a fully inclusive education is as fervent as our belief in the power of education. A good education provides opportunities, choices and ultimately, success. This is what every parent strives for, for their child.
Sadly, the opportunities to achieve have been limited by political chaos, lacklustre educational policies and a torturous cost of living crisis. There are more young people (of school age) out of education than ever before. Schools are struggling to maintain staff and behaviour in many schools is impacting on those who want to learn. This is also exacerbating the struggling education system in the United Kingdom.
