Our goal for Skills Builder is that children develop, apply and transfer the essential skills, in any given context, by:
- practising and building the skills so that they have a high level of competency;
- having opportunities to make links with further education and the world of work; and
- valuing the essential skills across the school's curriculum.
We are proud to announce that we have achieved the Skills Builder GOLD Award!
“We focus on building essential skills to enable lifelong success so that one day, all students are equipped with the skills, experiences and aspirations to succeed.” Skills Builder
One of our main foci is to prepare our pupils beyond the realm of primary school, opening up opportunities beyond their current life experiences. We do this through our Enterprise Curriculum which brings the world of work into the classroom and provides opportunities to visit an array of employers and have insight to a range of careers.
We are a partner school with Skills Builder, an award-winning not-for-profit organisation whose programme we follow as part of our developing enterprise curriculum. Each year group runs an enterprise project, such as creating and inaugurating an art gallery in Year 1 and setting up a graphic design company in Year 4.

We have 6 new businesses that have welcomed children into their work place since September 2016 and we continue to develop links with businesses in London. We know both from research and our own experience how beneficial visits are in terms of introducing the idea of work and differing vocations to children. If you would like to support the school's enterprise curriculum, please do get in touch.
We are a partner school with the Little Angel Theatre, Islington and the Geffrye Museum, Southwark.
