While many sectors are considering how they get back to \u2018normal\u2019 or what their \u2018new normal\u2019 will look like following the COVID-19 pandemic, our Education Officer, Mark Kilgallon, is excited about the prospect of welcoming young people back to The Stoop to continue their education, following a prolonged period of remote learning.<\/p>

\u201cFrom the offset our students have had to adapt to an entirely different mode of learning, that doesn\u2019t come without its challenges, but they coped really well.<\/p>

“However, we know that meaningful interaction with their peers is as key to a young person\u2019s development as any lesson, so we\u2019ve been working tirelessly to get our classrooms ready for the safe return of our students.\u201d<\/p>

Both our HITZ and Engage programmes will be back to face-to-face delivery from September, offering a mixed approach, retaining some remote learning via Microsoft Teams and Zoom. By doing so we hope to:<\/p>

• Support young people back into education in a staged and responsible way.<\/li>
• Help all our students to meaningfully engage in their education, be it remote or otherwise.<\/li>
• Provide young people with the essential support they need to continue their development.<\/li><\/ul>

  Unfortunately, a recent paper by the Education Endowment Foundation, estimates that many of the hard-won reductions in attainment gaps between disadvantaged young people and their peers are likely to have been reversed by school closures.<\/p>

  \u201cWe\u2019re conscious that remote learning has worked perfectly for some of our students and imperfectly for others.<\/p>

  “Addressing any gaps in learning that have developed since the suspension of our face-to-face delivery in March will be our absolute priority.<\/p>

  “Supporting young people to develop the essential skills required to succeed in the 21^{st<\/sup> century is the overarching principle that drives our education programmes and we are committed to ensuring young people on our programmes have every opportunity to be successful.\u201d<\/p>}
