About Us
Croydon Supplementary Education Project has built a 43+ years reputation for academic excellence in helping pupils from Year 1 to Year 11 to achieve. Our Saturday School has places available for pupils wishing to study Mathematics, English, the Sciences, and Black History.
GCSE's are the most important hurdle that a young person must achieve to get on in life. They determine whether or not a pupil is even offered the opportunity to study their A Levels. A young person cannot leave their GCSE results to chance. Leaving it up to chance is not an option.
​
We at CSEP have programs and packages to help Year 10 and 11 pupils jump that important hurdle in their lives. We offer tuition to pupils wishing to gain mastery in Mathematics, English, and science subjects on Saturday afternoons from 12.20 till 3.30 pm
​
Our Saturday school works to develop competence and excellence in the core subjects of the National Curriculum (English, Maths and Science).
CSEP provides help and support to young people in terms of study skills, revision techniques, help with mainstream school topics and projects.
Support is provided by a dedicated staff team of teachers, teaching assistants, peer mentors, administration staff and volunteers.
We help each student towards achieving
his or her academic potential through:
​

OUR FOUNDERS
The Croydon Supplementary Education Project (CSEP) was borne from the frustration of seeing pupils mainly from a BAME background being neglected or pushed aside in mainstream education in their pursuit of achieving academic success within the school state system in the late 70’s, as evident from a number of black teachers/academics at the time. This was a period where black pupils were perceived to be more troublesome to teach and many felt in the black community that their children were not being given the same opportunities with their white counterparts.
Mr D. Johnson along with Mrs C. Graham saw this as a blight on their community and decided action needed to be done.
