This time last week, we embarked on a new partnership with Evolution Sports Group (ESG). We are thrilled to be working with Eugene Dwaah, his wonderful team and the young people they support. To echo Eugene's words - we're not just pleased, we're super pleased! #alternativeprovision #communitylearning #academy21
Today was one of those days that reminded me that what we do at Academy21 really makes a difference and why, sometimes, I am happy to get up at 5.30am to help make that difference. ⏰ ☕ Today, Terene Leander and I were onsite to support the launch of an exciting new project in East London. Academy21 are proud to partner with Eugene Dwaah, and his inspiring and caring team of staff delivering alternative provision to disadvantaged young people. I witnessed Academy21 online teaching and learning doing exactly what it needed to and more, teachers welcoming the young people into a safe and trusted place where they could be confident to engage with learning. I saw students, who were reluctant at first, engage with their lessons and students who were excited and positive about their learning after their lessons. It was a fantastic first day and there's still so much we can learn and develop together to support the best outcomes for the learners. Quote of the day from Eugene; “I am super pleased. Not just pleased, super pleased. It was amazing”. Well, we are super pleased too Eugene. Thanks for making us so welcome today and we look forward to continuing our partnership with you. #OnlineLearning #PartnershipWorking #CommunityLearning Clare Brokenshire Amy Husband Darren Hague
