Early Connect recognition for best practice in embedding apprenticeships

We are proud to announce that our school has been identified by the Department for Education, through the Early Connect pilot, as an establishment of best practice in embedding apprenticeships within our careers programme. This recognition highlights our commitment to ensuring students are fully informed about apprenticeship pathways alongside traditional university routes.

Our innovative approach includes tailored workshops, employability masterclasses, and partnerships with leading apprenticeship providers to prepare students for a range of post-18 opportunities. Initiatives like our "Apprenticeship Academy" programme and weekly bulletins showcasing live apprenticeship vacancies ensure students are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed.

We are excited to share our work with other schools as part of the Early Connect pilot, inspiring and guiding them to integrate apprenticeships into their own careers strategies. This achievement reflects the dedication of our careers lead , the enthusiasm of our students, and the support of our wider community in championing diverse career pathways.
