Welcome to the Aqoon School Home Support Services website
Aqoon School-Home Support Services is an independent registered charity set up in 2009. It has started as a project under Aqoon Community and Education.
The project was set up after the initial identification of needs was undertaken. In partnership with the Local Education Authority we held a Home School Liaison Conference in June 2007 for newly arrived families in the city. Over fifty delegates attended comprising head teachers, education practitioners and officers, parents and community members. The need for more effective home school liaison for newcomers was highlighted.
The Home School Support Service aims to facilitate effective communication between schools, educational support agencies and black and minority ethnic parents and children in Leicester.
The service aims to bridge the gap between parents, carers and schools and facilitate better communication through mediation, advocacy, education and training.
The new service intends to influence and change the perception of black and minority ethnic parents towards the diverse methods of educational support that are available for children in schools. Aqoon particularly wants to increase take up of support by parents with children with learning difficulties and disabilities.
“Aqoon School Home Support Services has helped me and my mum a lot, they have helped understand my behaviour a lot and have helped me find a suitable school that has best suited me which I now attend and enjoy, I’m in a better place in my life, because next year I’ll be off to college to study child care.
The reason why my mum and I got in touch with Aqoon School Home Support is because I needed help getting into a school because i have been at of school for at least 6-7 months. We trust them and they made the right choice, the best choice that suited me. They have been supportive and honest and really helpful and they made my life really good”.
