Beyond the Barracks Report

In collaboration with York St John University widening participation team, Beyond the Barracks is a pre-16 mentoring scheme working with military service children. Three secondary schools across North Yorkshire participated in the programme. The aim of Beyond the Barracks was to equip the learners with skills for their future and help them to recognise the skills they already have, including those they have gained from their experiences of being a military service child. Working with a Student Ambassador, learners discussed pathways into higher education, CV writing, wellbeing week, revision skills and life as a military service child. The project ended with participants from all three schools joining a HE campus visit, giving the learners an opportunity to tour the campus and meet other military service children from across the county.
