Engaging education sessions to support 450 local children

A newly awarded community grant will enable Cleves School to continue offering after-school tuition clubs in maths, reading, spelling and writing for disadvantaged pupils with low attainment levels. The school has offered these clubs before and seen great results from the fun and engaging educational activities. These extra learning opportunities will benefit 450 children in Years 3-6 over the next three years.

We know that education is one of the best routes out of poverty and improving educational opportunity and attainment for children in Elmbridge is one of Walton Charity’s key priorities. Each year, we award grants and funding to local schools to support disadvantaged pupils with learning and other enrichment activities.

Chris Hodges, Headteacher, said “We are delighted and very grateful to receive support from Walton Charity which will enable our pupils to receive more opportunities.”
