What is TKAT ACE?

A Champion for Every Child 

As a school, we are very pleased to be a part of a new project called ‘ACE - A Champion for Every Child’ that will support all our Pupil Premium children and families. Pupil Premium is the funding given to schools by the Government to support the progress of some of our children:

• Children entitled to Free School Meals or those who have been entitled in the last six years

• Children of Armed Service Personnel

• Looked After Children and children who have been adopted since 2008

• Those with a Special Guardianship Order or residence order.

The money is used to fund initiatives that will help those children reach their full academic and social potential.  In our school and other schools within TKAT, some of this funding is being used to support the ACE Project. ACE provides every child in receipt of Pupil Premium with an ACE Tutor who will meet with them individually and have regular contact with their family. 

What is an ACE Tutor? 

An ACE Tutor’s role is to support your child/children and yourselves. They may be able to link you up with other agencies and offer extra school opportunities, for example, joining a club or supporting your child with an ambition or aspiration they may have. ACE Tutors will try and help with any barriers that might hinder your child from becoming the best they can be.

ACE Tutors will not teach your child, but they will listen, support, and seek help if needed. Our ACE Tutors will also contact parents/carers regularly to talk about their child, offer support, guidance or just be a person to chat to. We hope this will offer our children something new and exciting with lots of talk about their futures, happiness, and well-being.
