St. Aidan’s has implemented a policy aimed at fostering partnerships between the school and local businesses and industries. The primary goal of this policy is to provide our pupils with real-world experiences that enhance their learning, prepare them for future careers, and strengthen their overall development.

Key benefits of this partnership include:

  • Enhanced learning opportunities for pupils through workplace visits, mentoring programs, and hands-on projects.
  • Development of essential skills such as oracy, teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
  • Increased career awareness and informed decision-making about future paths.
  • Strengthened school-community relationships and a sense of shared responsibility for pupil success.
  • Enrichment of the curriculum with industry-specific resources and expertise.
  • Benefits for businesses in terms of future workforce development, community reputation, and access to talent.

By linking with local businesses and industries, St. Aidan’s aims to create a more engaging, relevant, and enriching educational experience for our pupils, ultimately preparing them for success in all aspects of their lives.

Our Year 3s are so fortunate as they have visited Blackburn Rovers today. The children got to explore the changing rooms, walk through the tunnel, and even play on the pitch. It was amazing!

Some of reception had a visit from the dentist yesterday. We are doing a good job at looking after our teeth.

Charlotte from Greenarc visited Year 1 this morning. She told us all about her company, construction and electrical careers. Charlotte certainly inspired our children. We are already looking forward to your next visit Charlotte!

Laura Hartley from Merchandise 4 Impact has visited the children today to discuss potential future careers.

How lucky are Year 6?

This morning we received a visit from Boohoo and learnt all about the company and how it came to be the global brand it is today. We had a presentation, watched a new ad campaign, dialled in to a real Microsoft Teams meeting with the headquarters in Sheffield in the Pretty Little Thing room and received a goodie bag from the team.

Thank you Boohoo for a wonderful start to the week and inspiring our Year 6 class.

We had a visit from the school nurse today.
