Raising Aspirations

In Year 5 we follow the Raising Aspirations primary school programme.  The programme is all about raising aspirations and opening up the world of work. It shows our children what careers are out there and the skills they’ll need to leave a positive footprint wherever they go in life. It’s also about building their self-belief, their resilience, recognising their qualities and how they could be used in the workplace.

The Raising Aspirations programme is designed to give our children the skills they need to lead positive lives. It helps them to build resilience, increase confidence, engage with lessons, develop self-belief, develop employability skills, increase self-awareness, raise their aspirations and open up the world of work.

The Raising Aspirations programme has been designed to support the national curriculum, with obvious links with upper key stage 2 through language and literacy skills, oracy skills, music, listening skills and team work. Other key areas of development are recognising and understanding qualities, skills, talents and positive behaviours.
