Supplementary Schools“…one of the most inspiring projects in the country today.” Fraser Nelson, the Spectator blog, November 2007 Civitas, in conjunction with the New Model School, runs Saturday schools and after-school lessons in which we seek to help children reach their full academic potential by teaching them essential skills, raising their aspirations and opening up opportunities to give them a better future.
The project structure is simple but effective. Children aged between six and eleven come for weekly lessons in English and maths outside regular school hours. We focus on dedicated teachers, traditional teaching methods and small class sizes. We hope and expect that the children will do better at school and find themselves with more options when they join the world of work. We regard it as the main aim of education to offer children the prospect of richer and fuller lives, and we hope that the classes contribute to that.
