Aspire works with Year 9 (13-14 year olds) students from various schools across East London, encouraging them to actively engage with their learning and life opportunities. The Aspire students are referred to the project because they fall into the category of ‘excluded within school rather than from school’.

Members  of Somali Family Support Group youth group, St John’s Church Hendon and Edgware District Reform Synagogue met once every three weeks to get to know each other, to engage in workshops, to work together on a project of their choice...and of course to have a great time!

Year 4 Students at Barham Primary School (London Borough of Brent) enhanced their Persuasive Writing with photography skills. First they analysed how images are used in advertising then they took photographs to enhance their own poster campaigns.
 

Aspire works with Year 9 and 10 students from schools in East London, encouraging them to actively engage with their learning and life opportunities. The Aspire students are referred to participate in the project because they fall into the category of ‘excluded within school rather than from school’. These young people may not be accessing the curriculum for a range of reasons.

The project brought together young students from different faith schools and communities. It provided an opportunity for young people educated and typically sheltered in their own communities to meet and learn with/from people from other communities, whilst working towards a Bronze Arts Award qualification.
