On Tuesday 13th May, our Harton Academy boys’ wellbeing and aspirations group had a wonderful visit from Dan Lilley, senior researcher at The Centre for Social Justice. Dan is part of a parental participation research project, aimed at re-engaging parents in their child’s education and re-building communication and trust between home and school. We are pleased to be contributing to this research on parental engagement and attendance in schools, helping to inform government policies.
Our wellbeing and aspirations group were amazing at helping Dan to understand the specific challenges we face in the North East. They were particularly interested about life in London and his job in Westminster!
This research will be released in Autumn, which we will be sure to share!

Supporting our Young People into University - Our Guide
One key talking point when visiting Newcastle University on our recent trips, was discussing the range of routes and support available to students from varying backgrounds, to ensure that they can still access the opportunities that more privileged students can access. This ranges from reduced grade offers, to financial support whilst at university, to a support network of similar students before they begin university; we have collated this helpful guide of some of these access schemes available in the North East.
