Good Practice Identified:

 good opportunities for pupils to take on responsibility within the school, develop collaborative skills and engage in teamwork  pupils’ involvement in raising funds for charity, which helps develop their knowledge and understanding of poverty  contributions from various subjects to develop pupils’ financial capability  activities for gifted and talented pupils, which help develop their problem-solving skills  visits to local employers and activity centres which help to increase pupils’ understanding of the world of work  visits to the school by adults from different occupations which help to link the curriculum more directly to the ‘real’ world.
