With the create and discover project we provide a variety of science and art-based workshops and activities to help build the confidence of students - whether they are in high school or for preparation of primary school students.
So if they would like support to achieve 5 or more GCSE's regardless if student is from a less advantaged background or not the activities and workshops would help develop a sense of achievement.
This sense of achievement can be carried with them to school to help build more confidence to concentrate more in lessons.
