Could you give us a brief overview of your organisation?
Creating safe learning environments in less affluent areas for children and young people to be supported with their studies and to develop skills with informal learning opportunities. Accredited by AQA and ASDAN. Registered with OFSTED.
We create these safe learning environments with the local residents whom we engage with and train to become volunteer tutors, club and summer school assistants.
Our education philosophy is based on two African proverbs: “It takes a village to raise a child” and “Each one teach one” Success4All was set up by a teacher and a group of mums of African heritage 16 years ago.
Tell us about a recent success
Recently we have been successful in expanding our Modern Foreign Language support for young people wanting to sit a GCSE and A-level exam in their home language. Whereas in previous years, we only offered this support in two secondary schools, this year 6 secondary schools asked for our tutoring and exam preparation support. With this we have been able to support 92 students to sit an exam in the following home languages: Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Urdu, Bengali, Cantonese, Portuguese, Italian, Polish and German with some fantastic exam results. We have also formed a partnership with an Arabic supplementary school and an adult foreign language teaching centre to expand this offer further to other secondary schools and to start up again after-school language clubs in primary and secondary schools.
