Now entering its sixth year, the Silverstone Park Schools Programme inspires Year 8 and 9 students from local secondary schools into STEM careers. Its success is due to the amazing volunteers from Silverstone Park companies who take time to meet with, advise and share their experiences with students. Our partner schools include Kingsthorpe College, Sponne School and The Buckingham School.
Over the last five years, over 4,000 students have benefited from the Schools Programme, tapping into advice from businesspeople within leading technology companies based at Silverstone Park.
We are partnered with our national delivery partner Ahead Partnership who lead on the planning and facilitation of the events from industry workshops, Q&A sessions and site visits to companies based at Silverstone Park to discover what goes on behind closed doors.
