Outside of school education support

At AYP, we understand that learning doesn’t stop when the school day ends. Our Outside of School Education Support programme provides a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment for young people to reach their full potential academically, personally, and socially.

Delivered from the new building in partnership with XXX and local education providers, this programme supports learners aged 8–18 through homework help, tutoring, mentoring, and skill-building sessions designed to complement school education and promote lifelong learning.
