HE’S HALF WAY 🥳
Kev has just passed 50.5 miles and hit an amazing £350,000. He’s now half way to completing his epic 101 mile #TheExtraMile challenge. The countdown is on.
He needs your support now more than ever… Let’s go Kev!

Many schools don’t have sufficient tech, and even where they have, pupils do not have internet or data at home. 38% of pupils on Free School Meals live in mobile only households. We can’t deliver #online#tutoring to pupils who can’t access it.
I love what tutoring offers. As cheesy as it sounds, I learn so much from the pupils and my reward is their success. It’s such a great feeling when they have those ‘lightbulb’ moments. There’s really no feeling like it. https://t.co/xaNfiYOxfk
Stark new figures from @SMCommission report today:
At 16, only 24.7% of disadvantaged students get a good pass in English and Maths GCSE compared with 49.9% of all other pupils.
45% of BAME children in poverty compared with 26% White British
Great to engage in this important conversation. Will take a broad coalition to deliver this across the country, particularly in disadvantaged communities
We're delighted to be supporting @TeamUpHub as they make the transition to online tutoring, so they can continue providing educational support to those who need it.
@GavinWilliamson The charity https://t.co/bM9vEDpROg already does most of what you are talking to Robert Halfon on volunteer army for education - please, please talk to them!!!
We are very pleased to be starting our first pilot of online #tutoring programmes today using @bramble_io platform, working with our partners @westlondonzone
Thank you to the dedicated #tutors who have volunteered to help pupils who really need support.
The current crisis makes the work we do to support underachieving disadvantaged pupils ever more important. If you can, please donate: https://t.co/3K6MIkfA8y
We’re delighted to have been awarded a RAFT grant by @theforetrust to help us develop our online #tutoring offer and support children most in need of support at this challenging time.
