Skills Builder

It has never been more important for our students to develop the essential skills they need to succeed in education, employment and later life. Skills such as communicating effectively, solving problems creatively, managing themselves and working well with others are vital for success in any future pathway.

At Castle View Enterprise Academy, these skills are developed alongside our core values of Ambition, Determination, Respect and Responsibility. Together, they help our students become confident, resilient and responsible young people who are well prepared for the opportunities and challenges of the future.

Through the Skills Builder Framework, students develop eight essential skills: Listening, Speaking, Problem Solving, Creativity, Staying Positive, Aiming High, Leadership and Teamwork.

These skills reflect and reinforce our Academy values:

Ambition - Aiming High and Creativity encourage students to set challenging goals, think innovatively and aspire to achieve their full potential.

Determination - Staying Positive and Problem Solving help students develop resilience, overcome challenges and persevere when faced with setbacks.

Respect - Listening, Speaking and Teamwork enable students to communicate effectively, value different perspectives and work positively with others.

Responsibility - Leadership and the wider Skills Builder framework help students take ownership of their learning, make informed decisions and contribute positively to their school and community.
