First Schools Teaching

The project, which we call "First Schools Teaching", involves members of the VIth form going into one of several local primary schools each Wednesday afternoon to assist in the classroom or offering time to supporting the teachers in their work. Typically, suporting the children developing their literacy and numeracy skills is what the project involves. The other schools where this project runs on a weekly basis are:
