Parents Home

Welcome to the East Berkshire Education Business Partnership; more commonly known as the EBeBP.  Your son, daughter or relative may already be in a secondary or primary school that holds membership with the EBeBP.

You may wish to know a little more about what services the EBeBP can offer your child's school and the ways in which your child can benefit.

To begin, Work Related Learning (WRL) is the fundamental grounding of the EBeBP, our purpose thereby to facilitate and manage links with local schools and businesses within the East Berkshire area.

Some of the aspects of Work Related Learning include facilitating the work experience placements for over 5000 students each year, and delivering enterprise events in schools and colleges. These events relate to equipping secondary students with the employability skills businesses seek in new recruits.

The EBeBP also deal with local primary schools, delivering workshops that deal innovatively with topics related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), in a bid to encourage young people's interest in the subjects.

However, the EBeBP do not deal first-hand with the parents or guardians of our schools' students.  The most helpful place to gain information relevant to your child is to refer to the school.  It is the school that determines the programmes, processes and structure they believe is best for their students, as the EBeBP is here to tailor all aspects of Work Related Learning and STEM work to each school's requirements and needs.

The menu on the left will help inform you of the kind of things the EBeBP offer local schools, some that your child may already be involved in.
