Aspire
The Ealing Aspire network for primary schools, which raises the profile of careers-related learning, continues to provide opportunities that challenge stereotypes, broaden horizons and raise aspirations with a particular focus on Science, Technology, Engineering Arts and Maths (STEAM).
We hold the ASPIRE network meeting twice a term for primary and special schools. This is to keep schools up to date with careers and work-related learning information and opportunities at primary level.
16 March meeting
Here are the presentations and and recordings from two guest speakers: SCS Railways and STEM Learning. Both organisations are offering FREE support to schools and want to expand the number of schools they work with in Ealing.

Upcoming live sessions scheduled for March
CJ Bentley - Children Book Author Workshop - 16 March 2021, 9 - 9.30am
After introducing herself and explaining how the session would go, she would talk about how she became a writer, what gave her the inspiration. The best bit about being a writer, the worst thing. She would ask the children lots of questions about their reading and writing (very aware of their body language, it they are fine then she would carry on but if she saw shuffling then she would stop to give them a go). She would introduce the books, talk a bit about finding things after losing them, talk a little about publishing, the trials, and gains. Then she'd ask if they would like her to read a little from one of the books and at the end there would be a question and answer session.
Three: Career Insights from a Project Manager - 23rd March 2021, 2 -3pm
Andrea Storer gained her BSc(Hons) in Technology Management from Staffordshire University. She has over 20 years’ experience in IT for different organisations, from starting out as a developer for Oracle, contracting for Scandinavian Airlines and Pfizer and now delivering complex IT programmes at Three. Andrea will talk about her career to date, things she has learnt along the journey and those that have inspired and been role models for her.
To access these sessions, all schools need to do is to get in touch with us (admin@letslocalise.co.uk), so that we can help them onboarding their schools. Once the school is live on the platform, they can simply register for the events, free of charge, via the Expert Time feature.
