Cradle to Career

‘Great schools are necessary but not sufficient for all children to enjoy lives of choice and opportunity.’

As an ‘all-through’ trust, supporting children from 2-18, Endeavour Academies is working in partnership with the Reach Foundation, to develop a ‘cradle-to-career’ model of support, anchored through its schools from nursery to Post 16. 

Our aim is to catalyse a pipeline of support for children from the early years to positive post-school destinations and maximise the potential of being ‘all-through’ in terms of curriculum, quality of teaching and learning, families and communities.

In order for ALL children to thrive, we aim to invest in relationships with parents, community and other organisations to strengthen our local community and transform children’s lives through creating stability, continuity and coherence. 

We know what children need to thrive:

Be safe and well supported
Every child should be free from harm and enjoy secure, nurturing, positive experiences - especially during their first 1001 days
Be healthy
Every child should develop positive wellbeing - psychically, mentally and emotionally

Achieve well academically
Every child should be challenged and supported by great teaching and a rigorous curriculum - especially during their first 1001 days
Build strong, trusting relationships
Every child should have strong peer and familial relationships and engage positively with their local community

‘Great schools are necessary but not sufficient for all children to enjoy lives of choice and opportunity.’

The ‘cradle-to-career’ model is centred around five ‘threads’:

Ensuring trusts develop the capacity to catalyse, sustain and refine effective cradle-to-careers models.

Ensuring every child experiences a curriculum that is coherently sequenced and builds cumulatively.

Ensuring every child has the best quality teacher in front of them-in every phase, in every classroom.

Ensuring every child develops a strong support network based on positive, mutually respectful relationships.

Ensuring every school develops a deep understanding of the community it serves-working in partnership to strengthen capacity.
