Saint Francis is a smaller than average inner city primary school with over 230 children on roll. As a school we have been involved with Skills Builder since 2017. We want our pupils to be excited about coming to school and excited about their learning. We want them to be curious about the world they live in and ask lots of questions. Most importantly we want our pupils to see themselves as learners who put no limit on what they can achieve. We believe the 8 skills underpin success for children for life but are also integrated every day throughout our school and help us achieve our vision. The links with businesses bring an extra element that nothing else could provide, it has really supported our aspirational drive for our children. Every half term we have an extra focus on one of the 8 skills to help support its development and raise the profile of the Skills Builder work.
