Organisation aims / mission / values
- Our Vision - The Right to Read, The Right to Know. This is what we envisage: no child, of any background, should be educationally doomed. On the contrary, they should be educationally empowered. We believe all children have the right to read.
- Our Mission is to demonstrate that social and economic disadvantage need not result in educational disadvantage.
- We aim to sever the connection between family disadvantage and educational disadvantage. We must educationally empower as many children as possible.
Butterfly School
How we deliver these aims
Real Action’s unique set of educational programmes has been sourced, developed and delivered to meet the specific educational needs of a deprived inner-city community. We can demonstrate that, with our Butterfly literacy teaching, virtually all can gain mastery of literacy. We have already transformed the educational opportunities of over four thousand children through what we call the Butterfly Effect. This results from our norm of a one-year reading age advance in an average 20 hours’ Butterfly teaching. And the positive long-term impact of our work has now been confirmed through recent research findings.Who benefits from our work
The impact of our work at Real Action is phenomenal. Children identified by their schools with the following labels - Free School Meals FSM, Pupil Premium PP, English as Additional Language EAL, Special Educational Needs SEN, boys – are, we find, expected to under perform. Personal disadvantage is thought to result in educational under performance. Such children proliferate among the residential and school communities that we serve.Volunteer roles
