About the Go Learn Programme
This fully funded programme offers high‑quality, personalised online tutoring, tailored to the unique challenges faced by Royal Navy children, such as frequent moves, disrupted schooling, and changing educational systems.
Go Learn is open to secondary school aged students from serving Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Fleet Auxiliary families, age 14+. Support is available at key academic stages:
- GCSEs and A Levels
- Scottish Nationals and Highers
- Specialist progression support for students with additional needs from age 11+
The pilot will run for an initial 18‑month period, helping us understand the demand and long‑term benefits to families.
