Bishop Vesey's Grammar School (BVGS) is continuing to forge important and long-lasting relationships with local businesses and charities.

The well-established Corporate Partner Programme is having a significant impact on opportunities the school can create for students.

Graham Saunders, the BVGS finance and operations director, said: “Our partnerships and communities are vital to the school’s continued success.

“While the school establishes high academic achievements, it is also successful in bringing in additional expertise, knowledge and skills from wider communities to enrich the lives and opportunities of all students beyond their academic experience.

“Each business-to-school relationship is unique and adds practical expertise and personal development in readiness for the world of work.”

They include:

  • Business and charity personnel delivering "power skills* workshops on communications, leadership, entrepreneurship, CW/interview skills, problem-solving, networking, team-working
  • Students hosting all annual careers fair seminars and interacting with guest speakers who are leaders in their sector
  • Visits to partner businesses for a "day in the life of a CEO"
  • Students as active school ambassadors at significant BVGS events networking with adults from arts, sports, music, alumni, business and charity sectors honing their networking skills for the future
