Polygon Arts is pleased to again be a partner delivering Toynbee Hall's Aspire project.

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’.

Aspire works with Year 9 and 10 students from schools in East London, encouraging them to actively engage with their learning and life opportunities.
