Find out more about our programmes below from the teachers and pupils that love them!

"This was a really valuable experience where the children develop more understanding about the world of work and they were able start to think about their own aspirations for the future. As a school, where there is limited engagement from parents and limited aspirations, this was a very important unit of work. Quotes for Corinne.xlsx . Excel . Reading View . one worksheet .

Teacher
Rothwell Victoria Junior Primary School

"The activities within the booklets were wonderfully prepared and collated, supporting the children in developing their independence and creativity and allowing them to become more confident in sharing their ideas."

Teacher
Garston CofE Primary School

"The children thoroughly enjoyed the range of Career Conversations we attended, often saying things like “I didn’t know you could do that as a job” or “I never thought of a job like that for me."

Teacher
Fazakerley Primary School

"The programme is designed extremely well; it allows the children the opportunity to break down a career into the skills and qualities that needed as well as look at the skills and qualities that they possess. I like the fact that they get the opportunity to look at the application process for a job, which I think is very important - cover letter, application form and even an interview! The song linked to the programme is amazing and very inspiring - we have used it in our leavers assembly for the last few years as it really highlights what we believe about the children......they are stars and they can achieve."

"Positive Footprints has helped me think about what I want to be when I'm older. I didn’t know there were so many different jobs! Now I feel more confident and excited about my future – I know that if I work hard, I can do anything."

Pupil
Grange Park Primary School

"I love the fact that I got to look at my qualities as I didn't realise that I had so many positive ones! I like the games played in the sessions as it really shows some of the skills needed in a child-friendly way whilst having fun!" Pupil at Willow Wood Primary Quotes for Corinne.xlsx . Excel .

Pupil
Willow Wood Community Primary School

"Thank you for the fabulous resources and inspiring materials. The year 6 children loved exploring the world of work and their dream job. The feel more ready for the challenges ahead and confident in interview techniques. We have had some fun with the role plays and challenges set."

Teacher
St Robert's Catholic Primary School

"The careers conversation was amazing, and it has motivated me even more to following my dream to become an author - Summer"

Pupil
Woodfield Primary School

"Yesterday our Year 6 children visited a careers event held in our school hall. The children enjoyed finding out about careers in architecture, education, music, technology and retail. This supports our PSHE curriculum and enabled the children to ask lots of really important questions - we were very impressed with how the children led the discussions with these inquisitive questions. Thank you Positive Footprints.”

Teacher
Staniland Academy

“The Raising Aspirations Programme has allowed students to explore different career pathways, and the steps that are needed in order to pursue a career in their chosen field. It has enabled students to think of the skills and qualities needed to be successful in their career, and in life. I wholeheartedly recommend the programme to other schools, so that their students may also benefit from the fun activities and eye-opening content.”

Mr Akhtar, Year 6 Teacher
Lapage Primary School and Nursery

"We have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in Positive Footprints this half term and look forward to each session. We particularly enjoyed the first session where we made our Quality Sweets. These are now proudly displayed in class as part of our working wall. The children have interacted well and have been very reflective of their own qualities and skills as well as being able to identify them in their peers as well. The activities are engaging, exciting and well resourced. Here are a selection of photos from our sessions."

Teacher
Heacham Junior School

"Ross was excellent, and thank you Georgina for chairing the session. The fact that the product design linked to the lives of primary-aged pupils, and those being pupils with SEND, was very engaging for our pupils. It made everything relatable."

Teacher
Crosshall Junior School

“Thanks for providing the opportunity for my child to look to the future in such a positive way! She has come home every night to share what they have done as a class during the program. She can explain exactly what she wants to be and how to get their goal but also knowing those dreams can change at any time and that’s okay. She particularly enjoyed the “Quality Street” activity in the class and the fact that the Quality Street Tin is still there for her to refer to and she also liked the “Personality Potion”. She has come home talking about her GSCEs and the importance of choosing her options wisely! She also really enjoyed being interviewed by the headteacher after following the 10 steps to a good interview. Thanks again!”

Year 6 Parent
Skerton St Luke’s CE Primary School

“Older pupils in key stage 2 develop an understanding of how their learning is helping them to prepare for the next stage in their education. During the inspection, pupils in Year 6 had the opportunity to take part in the school’s first ‘careers fair’, where they met representatives from local businesses and organisations such as the National Health Service. This enabled pupils to ask questions in order to find out at first hand the skills and knowledge they might need in order to prepare for particular careers.”
