The school uses Targeted and Equity Funding supplied by the MInistry of Education to run programmes and groups designed to assist our students to excel as well as to reduce the 'Long Tail' in education. Pt England has a long history of reviewing these programmes and reporting their performance to our Board of Trustees annually, as a way of deciding whether to keep or alter the programme. Pt England has also been privileged to work in partnership with other providers:
ATWC who employ our wonderful Social Worker in School
TCDT who employ our Family Workers and boys' Mentor
Starship Health who employ our Nurses and Health Social Worker
Family Works who employ our part time counsellor
These programmes represent a considerable resource directed at learning and teaching and have been significant contributors to the on-going success of our school. Apart from the floods at the begining of the year, it has been a relief to finally have a year that was not interrupted by the pandemic directly. It has been hard work though, as we've reflected on what we've learned, responded to the changed world we occupy, figured out what to keep or change and faced the challenges of children and families deeply affected by a highly unusual 3 year period. This is reflected in the various reports for 2023.
We wish to thank and congratulate all those who have contributed to the lives of children through these programmes this year. You have made a difference.
