ESDEG’s Supplementary Schools provide weekly academic support in Maths, English and
Science to help underachieving children improve their performance, confidence, and self-
esteem.
Through one-to-one and small group sessions, led by qualified tutors and dedicated
volunteers, students typically advance by at least one academic level. Progress is monitored
through regular assessments and feedback from parents and schools.
Each year the programme supports over 200 children, helping them improve academically
while building confidence, motivation, and positive attitudes toward learning. All staff and
volunteers are DBS-checked, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for every child.
Our year-round mentoring initiative supports children and young people by creating positive environments at home, school, and within the community.
Through consistent mentorship, we help young people develop:
● confidence and self-esteem
● emotional resilience
● leadership and decision-making skills
● improved educational outcomes
The programme focuses on early intervention, helping prevent involvement in risky behaviours such as crime, gangs, and substance misuse.
Working closely with schools, our culturally aware mentors support disadvantaged and at-risk youth while improving their mental health and aspirations.
We help families access the right schools, apply for EHCPs, secure benefits, arrange care, and more. Our team also provides advocacy at review meetings and tribunals.
Weekly Saturday sessions offer fun, inclusive activities for SEND children while giving parents a chance to rest and recharge.

Find out howOur Technology Clubs inspire children to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Through after-school clubs, holiday workshops, and lunchtime sessions, young people participate in hands-on activities such as designing and programming robots.
Participants develop valuable skills including:
● innovation and creativity
● problem-solving
● teamwork and leadership
We are especially committed to encouraging girls and young women to pursue careers in STEM, helping break down gender barriers in technology and science.
Funded by the Mayor of London, this programme supports adults—particularly those from underrepresented communities—in accessing education and training.
