THE BURTON BOROUGH SCHOOL
To improve social inclusion
Yr11 have the opportunity to opt for “Active Citizenship” one afternoon
a week. The scheme is organised by Marion Ellis, Head of Yr11.
Some of the students assist in Primary Schools, some organise Community
Events, some are making “Story Sacks” for local children. This
is raising self esteem, having a very positive impact on the students.
Scheme at Ilfacombe Community College which is very successful.
Those students in danger of failing/exclusion have a special timetable
individually tailored. They attend those subjects where they are
having success. At other times their programme is arranged using
local community/part time staff/youth leaders but always following
an accredited activity e.g. lifesaving, DofE, CLAIT.
