BETTER LEARNERS, BETTER WORKERS GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH!

The 'Better Learners, Better Workers' programme started six years ago as 'Made in Sheffield' with four schools and 48 students. By 2015-16 we were working with 12 schools and colleges and around 400 ambassadors.

We have made progress in Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham working with some great new schools and we are now working with 30 secondary schools, academies and colleges and around 500 BLBW ambassadors from across South Yorkshire. An enrichment programme was agreed with the CEC to reach an additional group of young people from the BLBW Lead Schools (Centres of Excellence) we established in Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield. These students were offered a WOW Factor programme: a ‘lighter’ school-based version of BLBW, which enabled us to test the wider transferability of a BLBW Enrichment Programme to all BLBW schools. This was hugely successful and we will be rolling this out to all new BLBW schools this year. Exciting times... watch this space!
