TKAT ACE

What is TKAT ACE?

At Havant Academy, we are very proud to provide the TKAT ACE Programme for our students.

The ACE Programme seeks to provide additional support for all our students receiving Pupil Premium (PP) funding. PP funding is given to schools by the Government to support the progress of particular groups of children:

• Children entitled to Free School Meals, or those who have been entitled in the last six years

• Children of Armed Service Personnel

• Looked After Children and children who have been adopted since 2008

• Children with a Special Guardianship Order or residence order.
   

This funding is used to fund initiatives that will help those children reach their full potential, both academically and socially.  In our academy, and other schools within TKAT, some of this funding is being used to support the ACE Programme. 

ACE provides every child, in receipt of Pupil Premium, with access to ACE mentors who will meet with them and make contact with their family.

What is an ACE Support? 

An ACE mentor's role is to support your child/children. They may be able to link you up with other agencies and also offer extra opportunities in school, for example joining a club or supporting your child with an ambition or aspiration they may have. ACE mentors will try and help with any barriers that might get in the way of your child becoming the best they can be.

ACE mentors will not be teaching your child, but they will be listening, supporting, and seeking help if needed. Our ACE staff  will contact parents/carers to talk about their child and offer support.
