Aspire
What is The Aspire Programme?
Aspire is the Academy’s means of ensuring students have the academic challenge and vocational support to fulfil their potential to the highest limit. Students will be invited to join the Aspire Programme and gain access to:
- Extra resources to fast track their progress
- Visits to and from elite universities
- Tailored career guidance
The resources and links on this section of the website are intended to allow opportunities for our most able students to stretch themselves. They are to be used independently so our students can go beyond the curriculum and follow any subject specific interests they may have. The top universities are looking for those candidates with strong independent study habits and a genuine interest in their subject. Working through some of these resources is a great way of becoming passionate independent learners.
Who will be invited to join?
Aspire students need a track record of academic success and a proven work ethic. Progress will identify these students initially but an ongoing process of review will allow new students to join. If you would like to request a place for your child in the group, please send an email for the attention of Mr C Gibbard, Associate Headteacher to cgibbard@westonroad.staffs.sch.uk
Aspire Programme Benefits
Aspire students will be supported when considering aspirational careers and will be offered tailored post 16 advice to enable them to access the top universities or apprenticeships in their chosen profession. Apsire students will also be able to access resources that will stretch and challenge them.
What is the Aspire Network?
The Academy is building an alumni base with the specific aim of creating a network of former students who can offer guidance to our current students.
