THE INSPIRATION PROGRAMME
INFORMATION FOR SCHOOLS
A one-year cost-effective proven course that enriches your curriculum.
The Inspiration Programme provides everything to inspire and broaden students’ horizons within a single academic year, whatever their starting point.
Headteacher Simon Jones of The Cottesloe School has experienced its impact first-hand: “What The Inspiration Programme does is bring a variety of people into the school who are experts in their fields which provides a real richness in the curriculum which we simply can’t provide. Young people benefit greatly.”
Why Choose The Inspiration Programme?
Suitable for all abilities and aligned with the Gatsby Benchmarks, The Inspiration Programme offers an opportunity to add value to every student .
The 30-session programme is available for 2 classes of up to 30 students in years 9 to 13 (up to 60 students in total). This includes all content, resources, training and support for your delivery team provided by Action4Youth.
If you are interested in releasing staff time, the Programme can be delivered by Action4Youth’s experienced team for an additional charge, providing a different cost-effective alternative.
Educationalist Dame Ann Limb believes the Programme is essential in today’s world for every school: “The Inspiration Programme gives young people an opportunity to get ready for the world of work, to acquire the hard and soft skills that give an advantage in getting a job. It’s about employability. The Inspiration Programme focusses on developing those life skills.”
The low cost of provision is designed by the youth charity, to make the Programme accessible to benefit all. With a focus on experiential learning the carefully designed course has been seen to re-engage the disengaged, to focus academic high-fliers, and encourage those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
