PROJECT
Foundations for Learning
FUNDING
Around £100,000 to establish and run the programme for staff in 70 schools funded by Newham schools themselves
BACKGROUND
Last year Ofsted told schools in Newham, east London, they needed to improve support for struggling pupils and their families. Too many children were being needlessly referred to social services when their problems were at an early stage, said inspectors.
The charity School-Home Support was already supporting pupils in a handful of Newham schools and together with Newham Council was keen to explore ways of spreading its expertise to school staff. The result was a training scheme called Foundations for Learning, which has been operating in the borough since July last year.
