We are fundraising to raise money to enable a local child in Calderdale and beyond from a disadvantaged background to access 1-2-1 support and mentorship to better their educational outcomes.
We are hoping to take on new students for the new academic year in September, whether they're studying for GCSEs, A Levels, or the 11+ examination.
Evidence suggests that a child who is experiencing an ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) will have poorer educational outcomes and fewer opportunities. We want to provide an educational intervention and prevent poor outcomes. There is an existing need within the community to help provide tutoring, mentoring and support for these individuals. We have taken on a few students successfully and we would like to expand the opportunities available.
Research shows that children perform
significantly better when they’re tutored
one-to-one for their education, compared to students who are tutored in a traditional classroom setting. (

Helping vulnerable children in this way, ATQ aims to improve educational outcomes by providing a nurturing environment that is safe, secure, flexible, caring and a place where positive relationships are seen as fundamental. ATQ lessons focus on well-being, social and emotional learning, and the building of resilience.
