The Values Foundation For Faith And Families In Education

the values foundation for faith and families in education

London

In the United Kingdom various providers have always been able to run their own schools, whether via the maintained or independent sector. This has enabled many faith and other groups to establish and run schools which appeal to different cohorts throughout the country. In England, all schools registered with the Department for Education need to comply with regulations and guidelines which are based on legislation and current educational thinking. Schools are inspected and regulated by Ofsted – a non-ministerial department of the UK Government. Since the 2010 Equalities Act, and more recently the Children and Social Work Act 2018, the Department for Education has revised their regulations and guidelines in such a way that challenges foundational religious beliefs and traditional family values. It is very clear that Ofsted and the Department for Education are focused on promoting an agenda whereby “all protected characteristics are equal, but some characteristics are more equal than others”. Simultaneously there has been a calculated and concerted effort by secular humanist organisations to not only investigate and undermine practices in faith schools, but to attack the bedrocks of convention and belief that are the cornerstones of schools who promote faith and traditional family structures. The current challenges in education threaten human rights including the freedom of parents to choose the education they wish for their child.

Aspire Gymnastics Academy has been proudly operating within the London Borough of Havering since April 2006. Aspire aim to provide a safe, effective and child-friendly environment in which the members can participate in Gymnastic activities under the guidance of appropriately qualified coaches. We operate an open philosophy and welcome the support of parents and guardians. Wherever possible we will enable you to observe training sessions provided that it does not contravene our Health and Safety regulations. We also encourage and value parental involvement in the club. The members of the club are organised into groups according to their age, gender, ability, experience and individual needs, and coaches will be pleased to discuss the training programmes and your child’s needs with you. We provide a child/member centred, coach led programme and will endeavour to help your child develop to their optimum level of performance. Our coaches are all British Gymnastics qualified coaches at the appropriate level and have been screened for their suitability to work with children. A Welfare Officer is appointed by the club to deal with any safety issues. The club has adopted the British Gymnastics policies for Child Protection, Equity and Codes of Conduct and all officials, coaches, members and parents must adhere to these policies.

Trent Valley Gliding Club

Trent Valley Gliding Club is recognised by the British Gliding Association as Junior Gliding Centre and has a healthy number of aspiring junior pilots in its membership. Providing certain safety aspects are satisfied, the youngest age at which a young person can fly with us is 10 ½ years old. Whilst our youngest junior members are around 13 years old, we are happy to welcome younger members, the pre-solo training syllabus means that developing the skills required to take that first solo flight is certainly achievable for many within 12 to 18 months, if not sooner. With this in mind, we encourage the development of our youngest pilots at a steadier rate to avoid the frustration of being ready for that first solo flight well before regulations will allow. Gliding is a fun exhilarating sport that can be enjoyed by anyone, female or male. Whilst the flying is entirely about you the pilot, it takes a team effort to get you into the air and everyone is expected to ‘muck in’ and do their share on the ground. This means turning up in the morning to help get gliders out and ready to fly, or being there to help put them away at the end of the day. New members are paired with existing adult or junior members on flying days and shown how to carry out a variety of tasks as safely as possible. We each have a responsibility to keep each other safe and behave accordingly. For more information, or if you are interested in coming along and giving gliding a try, drop us a line and we’ll be in touch with you and your parent/guardian to arrange a visit. Gliding, it’s quite the coolest way to spend a weekend or school holiday!
