Bronze Award for Reugee Action York Turkish Teaching!

Refugee Action York are very proud and excited to announce that we have been awarded a Bronze Award from the National Resource Centre for Supplementary Education (NRCSE) for the Turkish teaching we offer as part of our drop-in service.  At the moment we are the only supplementary school in York to have an award from the organisation.  The Bronze Award shows that a supplementary school has put in place the procedures and policies to run both effectively and safely. We now hope to go on to achieve the Silver and Gold Awards.

Exiciting news from Refugee Action York

For some time now we have been looking for a new name for the drop-in. “Drop-in” is not a phrase that translates well so most of our service users have been referring to our sessions as “Turkish school” or “Sunday school” amongst themselves.  Since we are no longer only reaching the Turkish-speaking community, and given that Sunday School has religious connotations for many, we felt it was time for a review.
