Partnership Vision

At Clapton Girls' Academy, we believe that meaningful partnerships are vital to preparing our students for the opportunities and challenges of the modern world. Our vision is to build a dynamic, mutually beneficial network of partnerships that enrich learning, broaden horizons, and inspire aspiration. 

We are committed to working collaboratively with a diverse range of organisations to help our students progress from education into the world of work. Through these partnerships, we aim to: 

• Enhance Learning 
  Co-create real-world learning experiences that bring the curriculum to life, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. 

• Broaden Opportunities 
  Provide students with access to mentoring, internships, workplace visits, and career insights that support informed choices and raise ambitions. 

• Build Skills for Life 
  Equip students with the knowledge, skills, and personal attributes needed to thrive in a changing economy—teamwork, communication, compassion, integrity, resilience, and enterprise. 

• Celebrate Diversity and Inclusion 
  Work with organisations that value equity, diversity and inclusion, ensuring that all students—regardless of background—see themselves reflected in future pathways. 

• Strengthen Community through Innovation 
  Create a thriving, interconnected community where education and business learn from one another and work together to innovate for social and economic impact. 

We envision our partnerships helping students to 'arrive with a dream and leave with a future' in which they are successful, confident, inspired, and ready to shape the world. 

Our Partnerships

At Clapton Girls' Academy, students are engaged in a programme of Careers Education, Information, Advice, and Guidance (CEIAG) from Year 7 to Year 13 led by our dedicated Careers Lead. In addition to careers information embedded in the curriculum, students are given access to a wide range of initiatives and opportunities, including use of online career investigation software, mentoring programmes, trips, employer talks and enterprise activities.

Hemisphere has been developed on the basis of extensive research and evidence of bias in UK schools, and the effect of that bias on attainment, outcomes and belonging for pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds.

Hemisphere is a brain-training platform that helps disrupt bias and improve racial literacy. The programme is the latest innovation from Rare, multi award-winning experts in race equity in education and employment. Trusted by leading educational institutions and top-tier employers alike, Hemisphere is a whole-school approach to racial literacy and belonging.

From hair to names to cultural norms, Hemisphere provides teachers, staff and governors (EYFS-KS5) with a toolkit to understand, safeguard and nourish minority ethnic students, and empowers pupils (KS3-5) in their peer-to-peer interactions. It blends government data, Rare’s unique datasets and original research, animations and interactive exercises to distil two decades of knowledge into one hour of CPD for staff, and a 30-minute session for students. Training is completed annually, with the first year focused on the experience of Black pupils, and the second on pupils of South Asian heritage.
