Bexleyheath pupil in line
for Prince’s Trust award
A young student from Bexleyheath who overcame
difficulties at school with help from a Prince’s
Trust programme has been nominated for a
prestigious award.
Mitchall Bylett, 16, a pupil at Oakwood School, is
in the running for Educational Achiever of the
Year at The Prince’s Trust Celebrate Success
ceremony, in London, on Wednesday 15 October.
Mitchall’s future was looking bleak; his teachers
found him moody, attention seeking and lacking
in social skills.
He had very low self esteem and
had given up on school work.
He started mixing
with people who were a bad influence and got
caught up in anti-social behaviour and crime.
Then he joined the school’s xl club.
xl offers an alternative curriculum to 14-16 year
olds who are at risk of truanting, exclusion and
underachievement.
The xl programme aims to
improve attendance, motivation and social skills.
After joining The Prince’s Trust xl club Mitchall
started enjoying school for the first time and his
work improved.
One of his biggest achievements
has been receiving a Young Environmentalist
Award for renovating the school garden.
Mitchall’s transformed his attitude and is now
30% of Bexley’s
children in
poverty!
While Bexley council are paying top staff six
figure salaries and spending millions on a new
civic centre in Bexleyheath there are more than
30% of children living in Bexley living in or
on the brink of poverty - and not a single ward
escapes destitution.
To coincide with the
release of these figures End Child Poverty
launched 4 in 10: The End Child Poverty
London Project.
The two-year London project
aims to tackle the specific challenges that
Bexley face in ending child poverty.
Figures released demonstrate the widening
divide in London, with children from the same
neighbourhoods leading very different lives.
Bexley is known as one of the wealthiest
London boroughs but pockets of deprivation
still exist.
Whilst St.
Mary’s ward has only 15%
children living on the brink of poverty, the
neighbouring ward of North End has 56%
children; these young people have significantly
worse life chances.
Hilary Fisher, Director End Child Poverty,
said: “It is ironic that London is the economic
powerhouse of the UK and provides 20% of
the UK’s GDP yet it is failing to provide for
the hundreds of thousands of children growing
up within its limits.
“Poverty blights children’s lives.
In the sixth
richest city in the world it is shameful that this
is allowed to continue.
”
Project Co-ordinator Liz Thorne said
“Educational disadvantage is a significant
driver of deprivation in Bexley.
Fantastic
initiatives have been started to help overcome
these problems but these frequently take place
in isolated pockets.

NEW SCHOOL IN
CRAYFORD SOON!A packed hall at Barnes Cray
Primary School illustrated the
level of interest in the proposals
for an all age academy in Crayford
to incorporate Barnes Cray
Primary School offering fully
integrated provision on one site
sponsored by the Haberdashers’
Aske’s Federation with the Temple
Grove Trust.
Local Cllr Simon Windle welcomed
residents, parents and children to the public
meeting.
ls.
Many parents at the meeting were
supportive of the new academy and the
inclusion of Barnes Cray Primary School.
Some explained the difficulty they had
experienced finding a local secondary school
(the council pulled down a perfectly good
secondary school in Iron Mill Lane) for their
children and others said that in the past their
children had no choice but to travel across the
borough to school.
Others were keen to be
associated with Haberdasher’s Askes’
traditional ethos and good name.
Cllr Seymour encouraged local residents to
contact him and fellow ward members with
planning issues.
Cllr Seymour was enthusiastic; “It’s just not
good enough that our children have to travel
so far to go to secondary school.
Our children
deserve a local education.
I am really pleased
that Haberdashers’ has chosen to come to
Crayford.
Their involvement puts Crayford
not only on the academic map, but on the map
full stop!”
Haberdashers’ Aske’s is also consulting on its
proposals for the academy.
Its consultation
ends on 22 December.
Leaflets are available at
www.
crayfordacademy.
org or by calling 08702
250132.
The London Borough of Bexley received
ministerial approval for the project to move on
to the next stage earlier this year.
The approval
gave the go ahead for further detailed feasibility
studies into the possibility of a new academy in
Crayford.
The Council’s current consultation
forms part of this feasibility phase.
A STEP NEARER.
