Ebru-Nazar Ozdogru, who is studying Level 3 Sport at Haringey Sixth Form College, has been awarded the University of East London (UEL) Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship.

The UEL’s Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship targets academic excellence, financial need and awards this scholarship to students who reflect their commitment to the University values. This scholarship offers a tuition fee waiver for a full-time undergraduate degree.

Ebru is an outstanding student who has shown unwavering commitment and determination since she began studying at Haringey Sixth Form College. Her character, values, dedication and extra-curricular achievements such as white water rafting at Lea Valley alongside team GB, cycling and cadets have been recognised by the university as she is now the recipient of this highly prestigious and exclusive scholarship opportunity.

Ebru will be pursuing an undergraduate degree in Sport and Exercise Science in September 2022 and with the support of this scholarship, she will be able to continue to maximise her huge potential in higher education.

Ebru says:

“I am still trying to process this, especially knowing that the scholarship is only awarded to eight people; my family is really excited and very proud of me. I will say that if anyone wants to apply for this just do it and don’t doubt yourself as it is an amazing opportunity and I know that I wouldn’t have been able to go through with it without the support of Haringey Sixth Form College staff and friends I have met along the way being and I just cannot wait to start this journey in September 2022.”

Haringey’s new Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO) is Liz Best – she is contactable on email Liz.Best@haringey.gov.uk  and through the usual LADO address.

Here is an exciting opportunity for your school to take part in the fully funded project Building resilience to extremism through enquiry (BREE) starting in September 2022.

The project combines the philosophy for children (P4C) dialogue and enquiry methodology with a specifically designed teaching and learning resource to build pupils’ understanding and critical thinking about extremism and terrorism.

The benefits for schools taking part in the project include:

• A DfE endorsed approach to meet the Prevent duty and OFSTED safeguarding requirements
• Specialist training in the P4C approach and the BREE teaching and learning resource
• Bespoke coaching support with classroom implementation
• 12 fully resourced lesson plans
• £300 per school contribution to supply cover to release teachers on training
• Joining a project which has been funded over the last two academic years by the Mayor of London Shared Endeavour fund (SEF), highly evaluated by participating teachers and pupils.

“This is the most effective teaching that I have seen on radicalisation because it engages the students’ critical thinking”  Prevent lead Tower Hamlet’s primary.

The project is for year five/ six class teachers and KS3 teachers of citizenship/ PSHE, English and RE

The Manorfield Charitable Trust, the project providers, are now seeking a third round of SEF funding following a recommendation to apply by the Mayor of London Countering Violent Extremism Programme team. The expectation is that funding decisions will be made in time for projects to commence in September 2022 and run to the end of March 2023.

Schools wishing to take part in the project can make a commitment in principle by completing and returning this offer and expectations document by Friday 27 May.
