S.M.A.R.T. School Support:

With our own qualified 'combined sports coaches and youth mentors' we are in a position to provide a service that genuinely meets the EVERY CHILD MATTERS aims.

    SIMPLE

  • An in-school or after-school programme for those who normally take part and are well supported.
  • An in-school or after-school programme for those who don't normally take part and would benefit from some focus.
  • The after-school programmes for 'both groups' can 'optionally' include parents and carers with support from our experienced staff.

    • MEASURABLE

  • Tick the boxes for the aspects of Every Child Matters:
    • Our programme also supports the five main principles that underpin the Children's Plan:
    1. Government does not bring up children - parents do - Our programme allows parents to support their children in a variety of innovative ways.
    2. All children have the potential to succeed and should go as far as their talents can take them - We believe that children are our future and encourage them to lead the way - we can support them with qualified mentors.
    3. Children and young people need to enjoy their childhood as well as grow up prepared for adult life - We actively support and manage a 'Young People and Children's Rights Policy' and also have an educational emphasis focusing on the support of 'Functional/work Skills'
    4. Services need to be shaped by and responsive to children, young people and families, not designed around professional boundaries - We are influenced by a Youth Forum and have young people as Trustees of our Charity.
    5. It is always better to prevent failure than tackle a crisis later - We work with children aged 14 - 24, but predominantly focus on Primary school aged children and their parents/carers.

ATTAINABLE

We only use qualified, experienced and capable staff - children deserve the best.
When our Leadership Co-ordinator passess on a programme to new staff he maintains quality with monitoring visits - quality is everything.
We agree 'soft outcome' goals before we start and evaluate all the way through the programme.

REALISTIC

We expect good results - but these ca only be achieved over a period of time.
Schools should commit to a full academic year or at least one full term in order to evaluate any success.

TIME

We can deliver programmes for one hour per week, for a full day per week and for a full week all year.
We can start a programme within 5 -10 days of agreement - but ideally we like to plan at least 5-6 weeks in advance.
