Burnham Grammar School prepares students for life beyond secondary school through its Aspirations Programme, essentially developing students’ skills and abilities towards the world of work to ensure they are prepared for the future.

At BGS we appreciate that our students will engage in future careers which will often currently be unknown to them, however these roles will develop and students must be able to adapt their skill set and knowledge over time.

Given the ability of our students, the Aspirations Programme is designed to stretch students academically to achieve the very best for themselves as individuals. In order to support our students to develop the skills they require post-secondary education and to support them in their decision making throughout their secondary education experience BGS fully embraces the National Gatsby Benchmarks.

In doing so, BGS works closely with the Bucks Thames Valley Local Enterprise Partnership (BTVLEP) advisor.

Susannah Edwards is currently the Enterprise Coordinator assigned to support BGS.
