Story by the New Deal executive team
Children from Burngreave under achieve at school compared to other parts of Sheffield. Through the Advancing Together Agreement, BNDfC and the Sheffield Education Authority have agreed some key projects to help raise achievement levels.
This will see additional resources being put in to assist learning in schools and to enable parents to become more involved in supporting their children and help raise standards.
Most of these nine projects will come to fruition next term:
Bilingual teaching assistants
Reducing exclusions
Community language learning in schools
Celebration of success
Firvale Business Enterprise Centre
Community education coordinators
Half term holiday clubs
Breakfast and after school club
Firs Hill community facilities
If you’ve got children at school make sure you get involved – look out for developments in the schools or contact Jon Cowley, BNDfC Education Theme Manager, on 292 2908.
