Alternative Provision Success

Scarborough Construction Skills Village has received positive feedback from George Pindar School.

Since 2015 we have worked in partnership with the school to offer construction as part of their curriculum. Take a look at what Julian Leader, Headteacher at George Pindar School said:

‘Since developing our strategic partnership with the Construction Skills Village we have seen a number of positive impacts. We have worked together to provide students with hands on experiences of the construction sector through experiential visits, work experience opportunities and specific placements for students.’

‘These specific placements, providing a day a week for students to work within the Skills Village, have not only provided invaluable experience and training for the student, but have also supported an improvement in their engagement within their core curriculum. Without this strategic link our curriculum and CEIAG opportunities would be narrower’
