Brent Supplementary Education Network

What is the Supplementary Education Network?

The Supplementary Education Network is a partnership of organisations dedicated to supporting Supplementary Education Provisions (SEPs) in Brent. Young Brent Foundation's Supplementary Education Network Coordinator works closely with Brent's voluntary sector and local government to provide a range of support, including information, advice, and access to resources.In 2024, YBF managed the Supplementary Education Fund, in partnership with the John Lyons Charity. This £25,000 fund supported six supplementary education provisions, enabling them to offer additional services to their students.

What is a Supplementary Education Provision?

Supplementary Education Provisions (also known as Supplementary Schools) offer curriculum support and enrichment activities outside of regular school hours, including after school and on weekends. They cover a wide range of activities, including language, culture, and religious education. These organizations and individuals operate across the private and voluntary sectors and include:

  • Supplementary schools or provisions.
  • Extracurricular clubs (dance, music, drama, sports).
  • Open-access youth providers (centre-based and detached youth work).
  • Tuition companies and tutors (supporting mainstream or home education).
  • Language schools (for children from abroad).
  • Religious settings (education in faith, culture, or religious texts).
  • Uniformed youth organisations (Scouts, Guides).
