NSPCC Childhood Day Mile  - YAY, we did It !!!

 

Team AMT (Little Legs) successfully achieved their ‘Going the Extra Mile’ challenge in aid

of the NSPCC national flagship Childhood Day Mile.

 

The team completed their Childhood Day Mile by doing an egg and spoon walk near to

the AMT accredited tuition centre in Durkar, Wakefield.

 

We had fun attempting to keep the eggs on our spoons and I’m pleased to say that

although the eggs had seen better days by the time we completed the mile, they all

made it, albeit a little battered, bruised and cracked!!

 

                  WELL DONE TEAM AMT (Little Legs) !!

ASPIRING MINDS TUITION  - WE’RE GOING THE ‘EXTRA MILE’ FOR THE NSPCC!

 

Team AMT are often seen going the extra mile to make sure our learners get the best educational, well-being and creative support that we can offer.

 

Today marks the annual NSPCC’s national flagship Childhood Day and our Team AMT (Little Legs) will be limbering up to take part in an egg and spoon walk where they’ll be attempting to walk for one mile without dropping their eggs in order to help raise funds in support of this great charity. Chatting to the team earlier today they all said they were ‘Egg-cited’ to be taking part and were convinced they would have a ‘Cracking’ time doing their mile walk!!

​

AMT are huge supporters of charitable causes and we’re proud to be doing our bit to support a day of fundraising and action that brings communities together and gives everyone a way to help our keep

children safe.

 

Half a million children suffer abuse or neglect each year in the UK. That means 7 children

in a classroom experience abuse before they turn 18. This is an incredible worrying

statistic and totally unacceptable. Child abuse has no place in childhood.

 

SO……if you’re taking part in the NSPCC 2024 Childhood Day then we hope you have a

great day and raise lots of funds for this great cause, and together, let’s all do our bit to

help protect our children.

Aspiring Minds Tuition gains Autism Certification

 

Helping learners achieve their educational, well-being and creative needs is something we do very well here at Aspiring Minds Tuition (AMT). In fact, we’re not just about helping our learners achieve their individual goals, we’re really passionate about making a difference to their lives, and in particular, learners who have special educational needs.

 

We’re really delighted to say that our lead tutor, Lucy, has just been awarded TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Autism (RQF).

 

Lucy has had a longstanding passion to help learners with special educational needs, and this latest award is testament to her dedication and determination to help learners achieve and succeed.

 

We’re proud of Lucy’s achievement, so much so that we wanted to shout out about it and share it with you!

 

This is just another string to our ever increasing bow of achievements at AMT. If you have a learner who has special educational needs, particularly if they are on the autism spectrum, then we’d love to hear from you to see how we can help.

Thousands of Children are Being Turned Away from School . . !

​

There’s been plenty of news coverage this week, especially by leading cable news networks, focusing on children with special educational needs like Autism, and the struggles parents and carers are having to find schools who will accept them. Mainstream schools are turning away children with special educational needs, like Autism, because they don’t have the funding or resources to help support them, and so are having to make some very difficult choices.

 

As a consequence, parents and carers are increasingly turning to unregistered alternative providers who are accepting unplaced children.

 

This is an escalating problem. Currently there are 8,400 children who receive government funding for EOTAS (Education Other Than at School). It’s also estimated there are 1.5 million children who have special educational needs, that’s up by 8,400 since 2022 and with only a fraction of new places being made available to accommodate the growing need, this is an issue which isn’t going to go away anytime soon!

 

Here at Aspiring Minds Tuition, we believe ‘every’ child, irrespective of their personal circumstances and/or educational needs is entitled to receive the quality and level of education they deserve.

 

We are committed to ensuring our knowledge, teaching practices and tuition packages are tailored to reflect the needs of ‘all’ our learners, and pride ourselves in delivering special educational needs tuition, such as autism, in a friendly environment in which they can learn.
