Medway Children's Trust
Medway Children's Trust (www.medwaychildrenstrust.co.uk/)
brings together local organisations and people in a partnership
committed to achieving one vision: To work together so that
children and young people in Medway are safe and cared for, succeed
in learning and thrive.
Medway Council is committed to realising everyone's potential
and improving levels of achievement in the local community. The
council believes firmly in the principles of lifelong learning and
is dedicated to developing educational opportunities.
Medway has a relatively young population, with 19.2 per cent of
its people aged 14 years or less. One of Medway Council’s top
priorities is to ensure that young children are provided with the
highest-quality opportunities to learn. Its early years development
plan was singled out for praise by the government.
Medway has 108 schools, including six grammar schools, with a
total of almost 43,000 pupils. Medway Council has an innovative
approach to youth activities. Its Youth
Parliament, was set up because Medway Council believes that
young people can play a powerful role in reinvigorating local
democracy and should be involved in issues and decisions affecting
their future.
Medway Children's University is part
of a national organisation that provides seven to 14 year-olds with
exciting and innovative learning activities and experiences outside
normal school hours. It encourages and develops exploring minds
that are enthusiastic about learning. It provides an exciting
active environment that encourages purposeful, hands-on learning.
Medway students’ commitment to learning was rewarded in 2008, when
they became the first in the country to graduate at national Bronze
level.
