Excell3

Excell3 is a registered charity, established in 1999. Its’ main aims are to provide educational resources, training materials and consultancy to advance the well being and academic attainment of underachieving pupils in the UK and overseas.

The organisation seeks to:

		Develop and promote good practice educational models in local, regional, national and international arenas to enhance the educational development of individuals.
		Work in partnership with existing educational providers and policy makers.
		Provide training, advice and support to all, irrespective of their gender, race or social class, in particularly targeting disadvantaged, underachieving and socially excluded individuals.

Our Objectives

Our objectives are six fold, namely

1. To provide an effective personal development programme which is appropriate to meet the needs of particular groups of children.
2. To upskill parents to enable them to provide effective support to their children
3. To empower local communities to run their own Project
4. To work in partnership with mainstream education
5. To lobby to effect change at policy level for underachieving children
6. To provide a relevant service to other key stakeholders.

Our Values

The values of the organization are ingrained in all that we do. Our three-fold value statements are:

1. We are committed to unleashing the unlimited potentials of underachieving children by creating, supporting and encouraging their educational success.
2. We operate on sound, ethical and biblical principles, practice integrity and pursue excellence in all our affairs
3. We promote equal opportunities, diversity and mutual respect in all our relationships and welcome the positive contributions anyone can make to the organisation irrespective of their gender or race.
   

Our Vision

We believe that education is a liberating tool and is invariably linked to personal, social and economic achievement. In this we seek to unleash the untapped potential which exists within the UK’s diverse nation, to empower them. We want to invest in our children now to enable them to become successful adults of tomorrow. By adopting this broader approach to education we will equip pupils to engage and participate more fully in the world of work and contribute to making a more cohesive society.

Currently Excell3 works at grassroots level through its network of local projects, with pupils, parents, mainstream education and the wider community whilst simultaneously operating at a strategic level with politicians, policy makers and other influencing bodies including the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Department for Communities and Local Government.


Projects

Excell3 has, to date, developed two major projects,namely , the National Black Boys Can Association and the WISE Project.

The National Black Boys Can Association is an established project which has been running successfully since 1999. Through a network of local Black Boys Can projects throughout the country, the National Black Boys Can Association provides a training and development intervention for black boys between the ages of 9-16. This organisation addresses the specific needs of black boys and seeks to break the vicious cycle of underachievement, unemployment, crime and imprisonment. For more details, click here

The WISE Project,“education for lifelong success”, seeks to address the specific needs of underachieving children, in particular those from white working class backgrounds, although it is not solely limited to this group. The WISE project builds upon the good practice developed in the National Black Boys Can Association. Its mission is to raise the social and educational achievement of all underachieving children, particularly those from lower social classes. For more details, click here.
