Trustees
The Adnan Jaffery Educational Trust, trading as One Degree, is made up of volunteer mentors, former students, teachers, education specialists and London professionals, who mentors GCSE students in London. Since 2009 we have worked with hundreds of pupils below the floor standards for educational attainment, and helped them improve their GCSE performance by up to 40%. This educational boost not only opens professional doors for our students, but increases self-confidence, ultimately changing their life direction. Read more about our story here.
