Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Education

Support for schools

We support children, families and schools with access to school places and the subsequent transition and induction. Attendance tracking sits alongside monitoring of the academic progress of pupils in schools to raise achievement. Schools benefit from the service providing support to those pupils most in need.

We deliver workshops to raise awareness of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) cultures to promote inclusion in our schools and wider community.

Being identified as a group most at risk within education, we use a range of methods to overcome the barriers that exist for this often marginalised group.

Our team play an important role in establishing closer links between home and school and our core offer includes advice and guidance to both families and schools. Working collaboratively with multi-agencies, we endeavour to improve engagement which, in turn, improves educational outcomes for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils.
