Subject Coordinator - Mrs J Askew

I am pleased to be the subject coordinator of Careers and Aspirations at Mablethorpe Primary Academy.

Every year we aim to challenge stereotypes, discover new passions and work towards an exciting career of their own! Throughout our hands-on careers programme, we aim for our pupils to learn about a wide variety of careers and to begin to develop the skills they will need in the world of work.

Our Careers programme is Skills Builder and it teaches our children to develop the skills they will need in the working world.  We focus on the main skills from the Skills Builder Programme; Listening, Speaking, Problem-Solving, Staying Positive, Aiming High, Leadership and Teamwork.  The aim of the programme is to motivate, challenge and build up the   confidence of our pupils through embedding the careers and employability skills throughout the curriculum.

Skills Builder is a cross-curricular subject and is introduced in the Foundation Stage through discussion of the skills through their play. In Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, Skills Builder is taught in various curriculum areas in a versatile and exciting way. We use the Skills Builder resources to engage the children and generate enterprising projects from their ideas so they can take ownership of their learning. Skills Builder posters displaying each of the eight skills are displayed in all classrooms from Reception to Year 6, so that our pupils can identify which skills they are using and so the language used can be embedded in their vocabulary. Our Careers and Aspirations  programme was chosen in order to encourage our children to work on the key skills which they will need in the working world. We want all of our pupils to know that they can achieve their full potential and get their dream job when they grow up!
