Rekindle is a unique supplementary school.
It is primarily led by young people who helped design a school they know their peers need. Set to open its doors in March 2022, it will be for students from working class communities, for students no one really expects to adore education, for students who the regular system fails, rather than feeds.
Our mission is to rekindle a love of education in the young people who attend the supplementary school. It might be relationships with teachers, a rigid education system or blatant bias in how certain students are treated. We aim to embrace those who feel disenfranchised by the educational system and encourage them to fall in love with education.
The school will focus on providing the pastoral care, community support and critical thinking needed to safeguard young people and ensure they have the confidence and networks to soar. Rekindle will work with students who have not been given the opportunity to fall in love with education in their mainstream schools. We will support their education and career aspirations with specialist homework support, mentoring and visits to broaden their horizons.
