Building Careers for the Future
Career-related learning in Primary School is not simply talking about jobs. It is not asking a 7-year-old to decide what their future career pathways looks like. Instead, it is about ensuring they have the opportunity for regular conversations that challenge stereotypes, broaden their horizons and raise their aspirations.
At Blakeley, we want them to be curious and inspired about what their futures could hold. This links to our ethos of 'Lifelong Learning'. We want the children to start to see the connection between the learning they do in school and the world of work, to recognise the importance of their learning, to understand the skills they are developing and how these skills will help them in their future roles.
Here are some of the opportunities we provide for our children to inspire them for the future.
