The challenges in our area:
- Three quarters of pupils in our area live in poverty.
- Most don’t speak standard English as their first language.
- Many face complex health and social issues including mental and physical illness, special needs and disability, communication difficulties and crowded temporary housing.
- Cuts to public funding force a struggle for families and professionals to access resources needed to help every child reach their potential.
- This is a densely populated urban area featuring extremes of wealth and poverty, illegal levels of air pollution and fear of violent crime.
