3 ALL ABOUT SAI SCHOOL HISTORY: Sai School of Harrow was launched in April 1995 when there was a demand from parents in Harrow in ensuring their children would be supported with supplementary education revolving around their rich culture and heritage. 5 Asian women inspired by the well known spiritual leader and founder of Human Values Programme, Sathya Sai Baba, made contact with Harrow Council who allowed them to set up the Saturday School from Stanburn School, Abercorn Road, Stanmore. In December 2013 we made a successful seamless transition to our new premises at Shaftesbury School, Headstone Lane, Harrow. From modest beginnings with a handful of students, today Sai School is serving hundreds of 2nd and 3rd generations Asian children and young people supported by adults, including 35 teachers, classrooms assistants and parent volunteers. Stanburn School and Shaftesbury School premises and its high quality accommodation have been instrumental in Sai School s success in being able to welcome pupils to a welcoming learning environment with well-equipped classrooms. Membership increased steadily due to word of mouth as parents recognised their children s attainments had risen, they had developed an identity, which had led to an increase in their confidence, and self esteem. Teachers training is hosted during holidays and the volunteer teachers are eager to become professional with an enthusiasm and willingness to improve in all areas. Sai School pupils were also encouraging their friends to join during the early days. By September 1999, year groups, starting from Reception to Year 10, structured classes to mirror mainstream schools. Few of the teachers have qualified teacher status and work in the mainstream sector. As parents became partners, and Sai School s partnership with statutory, local communities and mainstream schools increased, a range of activities and programmes were introduced strengthening joint workings between local organisations, other faith and voluntary groups. In 2004, the Sai Citizens programme was launched to help children feel a sense of pride in being British and contribute to local causes. This initiative enabled Sai School to win the Queens Award for Voluntary Services 2005, the 1st award to an Asian led group followed by other prestigious awards.

4 ALL ABOUT SAI SCHOOL Volunteering and Community Engagement - In October 2000 the Youth Wing was launched by the school for students that had concluded their Sai Educational program. Parent s requests increased to keep their children within the school and surrounded by its values and teachings. Through the years it has been evident that young people were getting into bad company, drug abuse, anti social behaviour. Its aims were to combat these potential threats and provide a structured program including training sessions, career guidance, community work and regularly supporting the School in various areas. Sai Youths registered with the Millennium Volunteer Award Scheme and each young member now has to contribute 200 hours of community work annually to attain their awards. Stephen Twigg, Minister for Schools presented the Awards at a Ceremony in June 2002 and was most impressed to see the young people s commitment in putting back into the community. In the last few years young volunteers have been nominated and received the Princess Diana Award to recognise and celebrate the successful dedication that members have given to the school and the community in their various specialist roles. Areas that our young people have dedicated their time and support to are teacher training positions, providing academic support to class teachers in additions to assisting pupils with encouragement and understanding of the catered curriculum and syllabus areas that are taught as well as support for the general running of the school every week. Plus a group of our young volunteers support a Computer and Literacy club running every Saturday morning at Stanmore College, supporting young students with disabilities, teaching them to read and become computer user friendly. In 2010 a group of dedicated members were nominated for the V Awards London s Young Volunteer awards. The nominees were invited to attend a special awards ceremony joined by many other young people who have also volunteered time and skills representing each individual borough in London. Our representatives and ambassadors of the school were proud and privileged to represent young volunteers from the North West London region. In 2013 Sai School of Harrow Youth were invited to attended the Asian Voice Media Conference. The Youth are invited to many Events in the Community and wider Community as Ambassadors and representatives for the School. Sai School Volunteers Sai School youth at Computer Club
