Learning

The learning theme of The Children's Fund is to ensure that all children and young people in Tameside are able to take full advantage of educational opportunities throughout their school life. All children should be encouraged to attend school and be given the chance to achieve their full potential.

The broad objectives of this area of work are:

To improve the educational performance of all five to thirteen year olds.

To reduce truancy rates and promote attendance at school.

The learning theme aims to:

support the needs of particular targeted groups, for example, traveller children, ethnic minority children and children with sensory impairments and physical disabilities.

develop best practise and information sharing between projects across Tameside

to support those whose first language is not English, to help understand and support their children with school work

provide out of school learning in fun ways to engage children's imaginations

The following projects cover the learning theme
