Future Frontiers
Future Frontiers is an education charity and Teach First innovation partner, providing young people with a programme of face-to-face career coaching and connecting them to relevant professional role models. The programme has been independently evaluated and has been shown to increase pupils’ engagement with learning, and prepare them to make better decisions at key transition points.
Schools are eligible to participate in the programme based on their numbers of disadvantaged students and current provision. Future Frontiers will match participating schools to a dedicated business partner, who will host and part fund a programme for your students. As part of the programme, students access 6 hours of face-to-face coaching from a professional from the partner business. Coaching helps pupils discover careers that inspire them, and shows them routes to achieving at school – all designed to reinforce the value of their education. Following the coaching, pupils have a range of opportunities to meet professionals in their careers of choice.
Future Frontiers currently partners with a number of Southwark Schools – Compass School, Charter North Dulwich, Charter East Dulwich and Ark Globe Academy – and are now open for Expressions of Interest from other interested schools in the area.
If you would be interested in learning more, they would be delighted to visit you at your school to talk you through the programme. Do reach out to adhanak@futurefrontiers to arrange this.
