The African Caribbean Supplementary School was first started in April 1995. It was developed for children aged 5 - 16, and is located at Westfield School. The School operates between the hours of 10.00 am and 1.00 pm each Saturday during term time.

The aims of the School are to:

Develop the confidence and competence of African and Caribbean children and enhance their self-esteem.
For all enquiries, or to discuss any issues to
do with the Supplementary School, contact
• Clive Saunders - 0780 194 7204

• Marcia Johnson - 0795 687 9217
Enable children to develop a greater awareness of African and Caribbean culture.
Combat negative stereotypes in mainstream society of African and Caribbean people.
Foster cultural and personal development of children.
Provide a varied curriculum including African history and culture.
Provide positive role models for children.
These two subjects therefore form the foundation around which the curriculum of the School is built.
The School is organised, managed and staffed by qualified and practising teachers, parents and helpers, with the support of the African Caribbean Development Worker. Parents and other interested individuals area encouraged to participate and assist the School in any way possible.

In pursuing these objectives the School aims to contribute to enhancing the academic performance of African and Caribbean children, through complementing what the children are doing in their mainstream schools, without competing with the mainstream schools. The School recognises the need for African Caribbean children to be confident and competent in the basics of the educational system, namely English and Mathematics.

Help is always needed, and when provided is greatly appreciated
