Developing The Young Workforce

An ambition of Developing the Young Workforce is that education and employers will work closely together to equip all young people with the skills and knowledge they will need to flourish in the workplace.  Working closely with our Parent Council, we are keen to develop business partnerships with businesses and companies to help us develop the employability skills of our pupils and help to prepare them for the world of work.

Information has been sent out to all parents and carers to ask for their support with this initiative.  Click here to see the letter and here to see further information about Developing the Young Workforce.
