Community-led education
Supplementary schools are community-led organisations which usually operate at weekends, offering one or

Supplementary schools can make a significant contribution to the self-esteem and well-being of
children from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) backgrounds.
The work we do ⇒
The work we do
Securing Success was established in 2016. The grant from John Lyon's Charity
was our launch donation, and our intention is to leverage it to attract other funding that
can be used to create new initiatives.
All of the activities are designed to meet our aim of promoting the education of children, young people and families in North West London.
We shall particularly focus on the needs of vulnerable young people such as those eligible for FSM/Pupil
premium, new arrivals, those at risk of negative influences such as gang involvement, and others.
The types of activities we intend to create are a mixture of delivering work ourselves as well as
supporting and working with statutory and voluntary sector partners. Activities will consist of
supporting groups such as supplementary schools, advancing the attainment and integration of
pupils experiencing disadvantage through working with schools or developing our own work, and also providing
funding for partner organisations.
