Employer Engagement Awards
Every year hundreds of local businesses play a vital role in broadening young people's horizons by showing them how the things they learn at school and college are used in the world of work. Each year we celebrate that commitment and recognise the value of their contribution.
Think Big Final
At the Think BIG! Grand Final last week, students from three West Berkshire schools had the opportunity to present their wacky and creative ideas to panel of judges.
The Grand Final, kindly hosted by the Hilton Newbury Centre, was the culmination of a series of in-school events organised by the Education Business Partnership West Berkshire.
Numbers at Work
Enthusiastic Curridge Primary School pupils had the opportunity to practise their numeracy skills in a new way, with the aim to increase the pupil's enthusiasm and interest in Mathematics, Geography and Science.
