Schools Partnership Team

The SchoolsÌýPartnershipÌýteam at Activate Learning works closely with schools to helpÌýyour studentsÌýmake informed decisions about their future.

We provide a dedicated point of contact for your school, with exceptional customer service, continuity and consistency. We can talk about our colleges, offer advice on the application process and provide general advice and guidance to allow young learners to progress with their education.

An outstanding careers curriculum is more important than ever and we can offer a range of activities to help your students in making informed decisions about their next steps. These sessions will also help your school in not only achieving the Gatsby benchmarks set by OFSTED but also by providing valuable support with the updated PAL regulations. We have popped some handy links to the legislation below for your information and guidance.

Just some of the activities the team can support you with :

  • Assemblies - we are happy to come and to any of your year groups.
  • Presentations: to a whole year cohort, or smaller groups if preferred. These are currently delivered virtually and will continue to be an option to meet your needs.
  • Careers fairs: a great opportunity for your students and parents to talk to us at your event and discuss their career plans and the courses available at our college.
  • Parents evenings, options events, and post 16 events: attendance at your event for parents and students to discuss progression to college or on to an apprenticeship.
  • Tours of our college site: for individuals or larger groups.
  • Lunchtime drop-in: with our information stand in the lunch hall or library, the students can pick up a prospectus and ask any questions they may have.
  • Application workshops: we can support students and staff with applications.
  • Destination data and management: with a Data Sharing Agreement we can provide schools with information on student application status and enrolments.
  • Mock interviews - helping to give your students a valuable experience of the interview process.
  • Virtual talks – where time and space is at a premium we are happy to work with you to tailor our advice and guidance to meet your individual needs.
  • Regular updates from your schools team on What’s on, events and what’s coming up!
  • Monthly focusÌý - What’s new at Activate Learning

Of course, we are more than happy to tailor our service to meet the needs of your school and learners and to discuss your requirements. Please contact us to book any of our activities or for more information. We look forward to hearing from you.
