About Us

Olga Education & Training Project (OETP)  is a registered charity and company Limited. It is based in Tower Hamlets and we works with young people (5-18) yrs as well with adults providing vocational training in NVQ's in Coustomer Service & ESOL Skills for Life.

OETP was founded in September 2000 and has been contributing to achieving the five outcomes of the Every Child Matters agenda. Our aim is to create a learning environment that is accessible to young people in an area of considerable social and economic disadvantage in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

OETP In particular seeks to increase the number of opportunities available to children/young people of local schools engaging in out of school hours learning. OETP hopes to support children/young people on the pathway to an active healthy lifestyle and prepare them effectively for their future. OETP places emphasis on helping all children (7-18 years old) to achieve higher standards of attainment, building and stretching their existing learning during normal school hours as well as addressing social inclusion and targets pupils’ health and physical activity

OETP works in partnership with local authority, Primary and Secondary Schools and with Tower Hamlets Idea Store Library to:

·             Raising attainment for pupils by improving self confidence and targeting specific groups of children who have been identified as underachieving.
·             Supporting children with skills and knowledge which will help them to achieve at a higher level.
·             Allowing children to have more opportunities to broaden their education than they would without this partnership.

We are enabling young people to gain the skills, confidence and qualifications to gain employment and become economically active citizens.’

OETP concentrates on academic attainment where tutors and learning mentors/volunteers deliver programmes of high quality in multi-skilled sessions with a specific focus on the guidance of The National Curriculum. OETPs management committee has high expectations of all children and staff. The priorities of OETP include delivering very high quality study support sessions in Maths, English, accrediated ICT and Science. We have also incorporated exam preparation and revision classes to further strengthen this aim.

"Children's are a treasure, the wealth of any country. They are the future leaders of society and the entire nations. But in order to play that role they must be given support. They must be given education. Their health must be looked after. And, above all, they must be given love."
