WOW – LVS Ascot Community
The World of Work group was set up by our Principal, Christine Cunniffe, to take advantage of the wealth of experience, enthusiasm and professionalism apparent in our parents.
The WoW Group provides an opportunity for LVS Ascot parents, teachers, career advisors and our Principal to network and discuss the changing professional environment and how we can better prepare our students for the world of work. We tap into the breadth of business experience of our parent body to not only support our children, but to support each other as business peers.
We turn insights into action, bringing our children’s studies to life through the lens of work through employability related initiatives and activities that supplement the formal careers service. The WoW Group has developed a series of “Routes to the World of Work” information evenings, a publication sharing real world career path experience, support for Science Week, a one day bootcamp (staffed by parents) guiding students on the realities of preparing for the world of work (beyond studies and grades) and support for Careers Weeks providing industry and jobs talks.
The WoW Group is open to any LVS Ascot Junior or Senior school parents & guardians with business experience who want to contribute and network with others in the LVS Ascot community bridging the gap between education and careers.
If you’re interested in joining the group and attending either the WoW Morning Business Networking Events or WoW Committee Evening Events, please email claire.gedge@lvs.ascot.sch.uk to register.
