Students in Classrooms Secondary — Achievement Coaches
Many young people in Nottinghamshire are unable to read at the required level for their age. The Achievement Coach scheme places current university students in Nottinghamshire schools to work with targeted Year 7 pupils to support them with their literacy and reading levels.
I could see the difference the students made with our pupils. I was massively impressed by how well the students slotted into our days and the autonomous way they worked.

Achievement Coaches
Achievement Coaches:
- will work in school one-to-one with five pupils, one day per week for 10 weeks
- are positive role models from a university setting
- are carefully selected, trained and DBS checked for the role.
The scheme is free to all schools. Schools will receive ongoing support and final project evaluations. These can feed into school improvement plans.
Pupils receiving the support will need to meet our targeting criteria. They must also be eligible for Pupil Premium funding and / or Free School Meals.
Location
We deliver the programme to pupils in schools. We expect placements to start week commencing 8 January 2024.
Please note schools wishing to take part will need to meet our targeting criteria. Pupils receiving intensive or one-to-one support should be eligible for Pupil Premium and / or Free School Meals.
