Education Business Partnership

The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham education business partnership is committed to helping local schools, colleges and training providers give their students high quality work related learning and enterprise education opportunities.

Information for businesses
We recognise and value the importance of employer support to ensure the success of our work related learning programmes.

The education business partnership is based in the School Improvement division of the children's services department in Hammersmith and Fulham. The mission of the education business partnership is 'to raise the achievement of learners, by bringing together partners from education and business for their mutual benefit and for the benefit of the community.'

Information for schools and colleges
Work related learning and enterprise education are a statutory part of the curriculum schools to offer to students. They allow students to learn a wide range of skills in a different and exciting context, whilst preparing them for the world of work. Increased use of high quality work related learning has been demonstrated to improve both the attainment and progression opportunities for those involved.

In addition, recent government initiatives, including the 14-19 White Paper and every Child Matters, place an increased emphasis on schools to deliver work related learning opportunities to their students.
