FutureFIT

Outwood Academy Brumby is delighted to announce the introduction of the new FutureFIT programme as part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring all students are supported and prepared in considering their future education and career pathways.

The FutureFIT programme is designed to meet the challenges of delivering impactful and authentic future learning and career insights in the school curriculum, while maintaining a focus on national curriculum learning outcomes.

What is FutureFIT?

FutureFIT is a series of video resources that will help students to link the knowledge and skills they are learning in the classroom to future learning and employment opportunities.

The FutureFIT programme brings a fantastic range of contributors from industry and higher education to talk about their experience and careers, to inspire and empower our students on their career journey.

How will students benefit from FutureFIT?

FutureFIT resources will be delivered across all year groups, year 7 to year 11, and will be integrated into 10 subjects: English, Maths, Science, Modern Foreign Languages, Computer Science, Art, Dance and Drama, Music, Geography and History.

FutureFIT enables our teachers to bring future learning and career insights meaningfully, and with relevance, into their lessons. This is achieved without sacrificing time in academic curriculum learning outcomes. Instead, teachers will use FutureFIT to enhance, inspire, demonstrate, bring to life, or offer an alternative lens through which to achieve learning outcomes.

We hope that all of our students will be inspired by the FutureFIT presenters and will increase their understanding of their future options. FuturFIT helps your child see where the subjects they study at school can lead.

We are delighted to be introducing this exciting programme through all Outwood schools during this critical time for education. Below are two versions of the introductory video that will be shown to all students.

As always we welcome any feedback, so please feel free to complete the parent survey here should you have any queries or concerns.
