We achieve this through... Equity mapping
Working alongside experts, and carrying out authentic fieldwork is an integral part of our approach.
Students do the work of experts, as experts, alongside experts in the field - as opposed to hearing from experts about the work that they do.
This is a part of our regular curriculum offer, and so students learn content whilst also learning about careers - discovering passions and opening perspectives to pathways that they may not already have considered.
