Fairview Education
Opportunity For All

A local Gloucestershire education charity supporting children from disadvantaged backgrounds. 

WHO WE ARE

We are a local education charity providing extra academic tuition to students from disadvantaged backgrounds to help them prepare for the 11+ examination in Gloucestershire.

WHY GRAMMAR SCHOOLS

Gloucestershire grammar schools are state funded. At present only around 4.5% of the intake qualify for Free School Meals. This compares to around 16% in other maintained secondary schools. Very few disadvantaged children are making it to grammar school.

WHAT WE DO

Our experienced professional tutors provide a package of free face to face tuition sessions and practice exams, outside of normal school hours, funded by generous donations from local businesses, individuals and grant making organisations.

WHAT DRIVES US

We believe that the current system for entry into Gloucestershire grammar schools discriminates against those on low income who are unable to afford extra tuition outside of school hours in order to prepare for the 11+ examination. We aim to level the playing field by offering free 11+ tuition to pupils who qualify for Free School Meals or Pupil Premium.

PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS

We are forging partnerships with local Gloucestershire primary schools to identify disadvantaged pupils who have the potential to compete for a place at one of our seven local grammar schools. Pupils and families can apply for a Free Tuition Bursary.

We also partner with the Pate’s Shaping Futures programme.

PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES

We work in partnership with local Gloucestershire businesses and organisations to sponsor a pupil for the longer term helping to provide additional support throughout their career at grammar school.

Pupils can also apply for a separate maintenance grant.
