One Degree is a personal and academic journey designed to support, guide and inspire struggling youth. We believe an A-C grade in GCSE Maths and English are the “passports” that will change a student’s life direction. We achieve this in the following ways:
- Volunteer mentors – Regular and consistent learning and revision leading up to GSCE exams embeds the practice, planning, time-keeping and confidence the students require.
- Learning through technology – The use of a tablet per student allows fun, modern learning while contributing to significant savings and environmental responsibility.
- Guest Speakers – Inspirational and motivational speakers help give students direction, ambition and aspiration.
- Sports – A variation of group activities builds bonds among the students and mentors.
- Food – Fun, healthy food boosts energy levels and the ability to focus.
