Positive footprints is all about raising aspirations and opening up the world of work to young people. It shows children what careers are out there and the skills that they will need to leave a positive footprint wherever they go in life.
It is also about building their self belief, their resilience, recognising their qualities and how they could be used in the workplace.
We have worked with the Positive Footprints programme for many years and have had amazing feedback from the children who have experienced it. As part of the programme we organise a careers event each year and invite a range of different workplaces into school to talk to the children. Some of those jobs have included nurses, doctors, universities, engineers, solicitors, mechanics and tradesmen.
Running initiatives like this is something that we feel extremely proud of as a school. Inspiring young people today for a better tomorrow!
