We are delighted to announce that we have won the Education Awards in the Transforming Lives through Partnerships category.
This award recognises our commitment to working collaboratively to improve outcomes for children and young people with the most complex needs through our innovative Futures programme.
The achievement reflects our dedication to raising the aspirations of our pupils and students, while equipping them with the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to achieve outstanding outcomes.
Our Futures programme inspires and supports pupils as they prepare for life beyond education, connecting them with meaningful next steps through a growing network of more than 350 employer partnerships. These include leading organisations such as Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, and John Lewis, who provide exceptional workplace experiences, ongoing opportunities, and valuable support.
Thrilled with the achievement, Ali Gibney, Head of Futures, commented:
“This award is a testament to the power of partnership and the incredible potential of our young people. Through the Futures programme, we are creating meaningful opportunities to help every young person develop the skills they need to thrive in adulthood. We are incredibly proud of what our pupils and students achieve and grateful to our employer partners for helping make these life-changing experiences possible.”
