We provide a safe, supportive space for girls to develop academically and personally.
Character education and the development of crucial soft skills, such as perseverance or working with others, are embedded in all our activities.
We know how important it is for girls to have a place where they can have fun with their friends and feel comfortable.
All of our activities encourage and challenge the girls in their personal and educational achievement as we help them prepare for further education and the workplace.
Activities we are currently offering:
Spark empowers young women to understand and value their identity and their potential and develop skills for life and work.
It’s split into two streams: a youth group session on a Thursday (featuring discussions on themes relevant to girls’ lives today and in the future; skills-development workshops & trips); and specialist courses on different themes (such as song-writing, coding & design).
Into School at The Baytree Centre is a programme that facilitates the transition of newly-arrived girls into the UK education system.
The Into School project offers support to girls in our local community who have recently arrived in the UK and have no school place.
On the Into School programme, girls participate in ESOL classes Monday to Thursday.
They attend Maths and Art classes as well cook and have lunch together on a daily basis.
Girls are also matched with both a peer mentor as well as a mentor who helps them apply to schools and colleges and follows up the applications with individual schools or the council.
