“Chalkline is an ever-adapting response to the need for real quality individualised support for pupils.”
Chalkline Education & Support started as an idea to do better, after seeing countless pupils being left behind because of an approach to learning that didn’t suit.
We had seen first hand how a ‘one size fits all’ approach to education could massively disadvantage pupils. Every pupil is individual, and will thrive if education is approached in a way that works for them. We began working with local authorities and schools to offer an alternative to the typical agencies - One that wasn’t just managed by recruiters, or only offering the first available person for the job.
Our assigned Tutors are individually selected to work with each pupil, and we encourage all of our Tutors to be flexible and adapt to the needs of the pupil; be it adapting work to fit their preferred learning style through a range of visual, auditory, read/write or kinaesthetic activities, setting SMART targets, or supporting to address the root cause of some of their barriers like anxiety or negative association with education.
Every member of the team is directly supported by the Managing director, who oversees and supports by quality auditing every weekly report, arranging regular observations, organises training and offers guidance, given his proven track record of making huge leaps forward where pupils have previously been disengaged from education altogether.
