Bring your skills and expertise to help us close attainment gaps and improve outcomes for 'underserved' young people.
What difference will you make?
We believe that every student deserves to reach their full academic potential. We are on a mission to design an open and inclusive learning space, that equips all learners with the tools they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Our flagship programme works with Year 10 & 11 students who are currently marginalised within the mainstream setting and are falling behind in their GCSEs. We work collaboratively through school and university partnerships to deliver targeted support to improve academic and other outcomes for our students. In addition to our flagship scheme, we also deliver a career-skills programme. Your expertise and input will help us to scale our existing programme and enrich the work we are currently doing.
