Supplementary Schools

We run Supplementary Schools that provide qualified teachers and pastoral workers that allow us to offer core subjects, help with homework, identity & personal awareness training and we also provide educational trips.

Transition support

WTA deliver Year 6/7 Transition Inclusion Programme . We are proud of the flexible and creative approach of our Inclusion Programmes. At present we will work with 30 young people. These sessions will are delivered as mentoring surgeries (one to one) and group empowerment sessions.

The aims of the sessions are:

  • Successful transition into secondary school
  • Coping with new learning environment and sharing any current issues
  • Guidance with homework strategies and communicating well with teaching staff
  • Preventing unnecessary absence due to fear of new school environment
  • Integrating with a larger number of peer students
  • Understanding what secondary schools expectations are from their pupils (behaviour in class, playground and outside of school)
  • Understanding the education process – homework, pastoral, communication with staff and adults

Mentoring, Mediation and Pastoral Support Services

The Walter Tull Sports and Arts Development Association has a team of experienced pastoral workers, mentors and qualified teachers who are able to engage with young people and address any issues that may affect their educational progress. Our mentors will engage with schools and parents via mentoring programmes.

Our crisis intervention methods are a 24-hour service. This is a holistic process which deals with all unforeseen mediation and pastoral elements for young people, families and schools.

Event Management

Our mission is to use "The SMART Principle" (Sport Music and the Arts) to engage, empower and educate primarily young people and adults regardless of their ability, background or culture thereby providing tools for lifelong learning and living.

To assist us with our mission we run a wide range of events. These events range from Conferences, Corporate Entertaining Events, Sporting Events, Music Events, Fun Day Outings and many more other types of Events. Running these events allows us to:

  • raise awareness of issues that we identify as barriers to positive lifelong learning
  • educate and empower young people, parents and the community to promote continuous improvement
  • celebrate the successes of our organisation and the achievements of the recipients of the services that we deliver
