Study Support Class:
On every Sunday, London school of excellence runs BYM Study support programme from our centre to assist students in preparing for their GCSE. On average 40 to 45 individuals attended classes under the supervision of qualified teachers and mentors. The pass rate has consistently averaged 100% for GCSE in English, Science and Maths. Additionally the project advises parents and guardians on the different career options for their children and helps them to make informed decisions.
Partnership Project with Local Teachers:
This project is about establishing a supplementary school to help young people with the core subjects studied at school. The project will encourage educational development and self motivated study in order to achieve high grades in GCSE's and SAT's. It diverts young people away from anti-social behaviour and negative influences that young people often get into.
The project is ambitious in the sense that it is providing educational support to student at all levels. The demand for the school has meant that we are catering for student at Primary, Secondary.
We are currently operating at a capacity of 250 students and 15 regular teachers, with the option to call in 4 reserve teachers during period of intensive study weekends. This creates an average ratio of 1 teacher to every 8 students.
Many of the young people have expressed a sense of increased confidence in the subjects covered since our first intake of students. They are finding it easier to manage their own study time at home and are balancing this with enriching recreational activities. The teachers in the school have noticed a significant change in their attitude toward learning in the classroom. The students are respecting the right for everyone to learn together and are engaging with each other in constructive dialogues relating to the subjects being studied.
We have strong links with the local schools in which our students are enrolled. We have a strong link with Stepney Green School and this is where most of our student are from. We have several meetings with heads of departments from the local school, and formulate a strategy through which we can identify potential students who will benefit and progress most from supplementary school.
Around 140 local young people regularly attend in supplementary school. Education is a significant priority for us therefore we have established this partnership to ensure that local young people benefit.
