Information for Employers

In order to support our vision of helping our students find their purpose, we need the support of both the public and private sectors. The careers programme is the bridge between education and employment. Therefore our students need to understand what skills and qualifications are required to be successful in the workplace.

To arrange a meeting or to offer support for the school’s vision, you can contact Mrs Emma Frith (Careers Lead) via email at emma.frith@edenschool.org.uk
