Our pilot education programme, Aspire 350, equips local students with life skills and development opportunities beyond the school curriculum, whilst offering them a route into NHS careers.
Since its launch in schools last February, over 50% of participating students have scored higher grades in their core subject areas.
The project, funded by Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity, works with 40 students across three local secondary schools.
Hayley Robinson-Allen, schools widening participation manager and project lead, said: “To see the students develop and come out of their shell has been amazing, and I’m so proud of how far they have all come in just over a year.
“Alongside building on life skills, we want to help young people in our local community pursue the careers they want, but perhaps in the careers they didn’t know existed within the NHS. At the Trust we are a ‘little city’, any job you can think of – nursery staff, engineers, chefs – we need.”
