Skills Builder Partnership
Building Skills For Life Across Our Curriculum
Darley Dale Primary School works with The Skills Builder Partnership to ensure every learner has opportunities to build eight essential skills to support them now in becoming successful, independent learners and develop essential skills that will support them in the future too.
We are delighted to have achieved the Bronze Award during our first year of taking part in the partnership.
Research has shown that building these eight essential skills can support the emotional wellbeing and academic success of children and young people, as well as preparing them for life beyond school. Skills Builder has developed a Universal Framework that breaks each of these essential skills down into 16 teachable steps. We use this framework to teach and practise each of the eight skills at the appropriate level throughout school life.
We wanted the essential skills to become part of everyday school life for our children. Therefore, we have linked the eight essential skills to our IRESPECT behaviour system which permeates every aspect of school life.
