Our vision is that no child's future should be determined by their background. We believe it is vital that pupils see a purpose in their education and have a clear understanding of how success at school will help to unlock doors for them in the future.
A significant part of this is introducing the pupils to Higher Education experiences as soon as possible, so that they can be excited by what lies ahead.
In partnership with Havering 6th Form College we were delighted to have the chance for some of our Y5 & Y6 pupils to visit the college and try some of the courses that they have on offer. Pupils had the opportunity to try photography, pottery, archaeology, graphic design and a range of other activities.
This has been such an exciting day. The pupils were so engaged and really rose to the challenge posed by the college's teachers. To hear the language that Lorraine used to describe how she felt about the artwork was incredible. The teacher said that it was at a GCSE level!

By making a clear link between career paths and education opportunities we hope that our pupils will stay the course and go onto get the qualifications we know they are capable of. At the end of the visit the pupils seemed to be inspired!
83% said that would now consider staying in education longer if they could get the career they wanted
100% said that they wouldn't be daunted by attending a college environment
95% said that would wish to study one of the activities in more detail
Thank you to Havering 6th Form college for a great day!
