Supporting Secondary Schools to Provide Free Tuition for Disadvantaged Pupils
What We Do
Yellow Brick Rd is a Community Interest Company that provides funds to secondary schools so they can offer free one-to-one tuition to disadvantaged pupils.
Why We do What We Do
We believe that education is a fundamental right and should not be limited by financial status. Where disadvantaged pupils start in life should not limit their life chances.
Why are we needed
Educational outcomes in the UK are profoundly unequal. According to The Sutton Trust, disadvantaged pupils are three times less likely to attend university than an advantaged peer of equal intelligence.
A pathway to success – levelling the playing field
