SPARK Educare learning centre study club in West Reading helping excluded children

Our main activities focus on young people excluded from mainstream schools. We fill in the gaps in their learning, often small things they do not fully understand or have forgotten due to inadequate practice and revision. Pupils are given a small test at the beginning of every session to measure their progress. As they see how they are improving, their confidence is boosted. We also do activities such clay modelling, drawing, debate and dance so that they can fully express themselves

Why they need our service

Our afterschool study clubs support children who are struggling with basic maths and English skills. Too often not enough time has been spent on things like spelling, the alphabet and number tables. We concentrate on these core areas to bring children back up to speed with their fellow classmates and give them the confidence to further their education.

Plan and expected results

Our goal is to help the young people of Reading reach their full potential. We encourage pupils to develop all their skills be that science, maths, English, art, dance or drama. Our afterschool clubs help pupils advance their learning and school progress, giving them confidence and well rounded skills

Final Results

Activities occur everyday throughout the school year with afterschool study club and homework sessions and weekend and holiday drop-in sessions.
