School-Home Support (SHS) is a charity working with children and families to maximise educational opportunities and improve life chances. Partnering with schools, local authorities, and communities, we look beyond the classroom to understand and tackle the issues affecting children’s learning, such as poverty, inadequate housing and mental ill health. For 35 years, we have used early intervention and a whole-family approach to break intergenerational cycles of deprivation and low aspiration, replacing them with children who are in school and ready to learn – whatever it takes.
