Theirworld

We are proud to announce our new official charity partner: Theirworld.

Theirworld is a global children’s charity dedicated to ending the global education crisis and unleashing the potential of future generations.

  • Today, more than 260 million young people are out of school.
  • 75 million children have education disrupted due to conflict, climate crises or emergencies.
  • By 2030 over half of all young people are projected to be without the most basic employment skills.

Theirworld is dedicated to fighting this injustice and to helping to reverse these trends.

Their goal is to ensure to all young people have access to three core goals:

  • The best start in life
  • A safe place to learn
  • Skills for the future

To do this, the charity brings together a diverse network of youth, social entrepreneurs, campaigners, businesses and researchers. They deliver life-changing projects and run hard-hitting campaigns to unlock big change.

Curricula

We are also including information about the work of Theirworld into our academic curricula. We want to encourage all our students to think more about themes of global citizenship, their place in the world and how they can affect positive change.

This includes using Theirworld Teaching Resources and Student Resources. These are designed to introduce students to some of the world’s most pressing issues as well as providing help with writing essay, dissertations or EPQ.
