By introducing Skills Builder to all our students, we are setting the expectation that these important employability skills will be built upon throughout the student's school life. We have publicised the Home Learning Hub (Home zone) to parents via the school's website and e-newsletter.

Form tutors have produced group level analysis with their tutor groups. Students are able to measure their own development with before and after comparisons.

We have dedicated form time is set aside every week for Careers Personal Development Time. This sees students initially self-evaluating themselves for all the skills, but then concentrating on skills required in different sectors. For example the Year 7s entering the Step into the NHS Competition concentrated on Listening, Speaking, Teamwork and Creativity.

Staff are beginning to build the language into lessons, made easier as they overlap with the Primet values. We plan to build on this further in the future to ensure greater consistency across all the subject areas. Icons are used during some lessons and assemblies. Some classrooms display icons and refer to them, but all have the Primet values displayed and reward students who have shown them.

Students who participated in the Young Enterprise Company programme self-evaluated their skills at the beginning of the school year and then again afterwards to see the increase in all 8 skills. We have used a work experience package that links with Skills Builder to measure the before and after development. For students unable to find a placement, they accessed virtual work experience that also showed the skills for each role. Employers that came to speak or deliver sessions also ensured they used the Skills Builder logos and discussed the importance of these. On Mock Interview day, the employers used a feedback sheet with the essential skills for recording the level they judged the student appeared to be at.
