Our latest data COVID-19 and lockdowns have had a big impact on the learning, progress and mental health of young people across the UK. We pivoted quickly and provided the emergency support families needed, as well as focusing on the longer term social, emotional and academic progress of the children and young people we support. However, pre-pandemic expected rates of progress have been difficult to achieve for many. The children and young people who have just completed the West London Zone programme have achieved really positive results despite huge pressures on their mental health and wellbeing: 75% of young people at risk have improved their mental health 78% of young people at risk have improved their social skills75% of young people at risk have improved their confidence levels We aim to help young people get on track socially, emotionally and academically. However, in this environment, getting back on track fully may take longer – especially in academic attainment. We will continue to work closely with schools to support children across the Zone to get back on track. These improved levels of emotional wellbeing and confidence mean that these children are well placed to continue to improve at school through the coming years.

That’s how well young people are getting on with their peers and the adults around them, their levels of emotional wellbeing and confidence and their maths and English results.
