Our Partnership with Skills Builder

At Shaftesbury Park, we are proud to partner with Skills Builder to help our students develop the essential skills they need for future success. We are one of only 20 school internationally to have Flagship School Status.

The Skills Builder Universal Framework is the world’s leading tool for measuring and building essential skills, breaking down eight key skills into a sequence of steps, from beginner to mastery. Backed by years of research and collaboration with leading businesses, educators, and academics, the framework provides a clear, comprehensive, and practical approach to skills development.

This universal framework is used globally by over 850 employers, schools, and social impact organizations. Its open-source model ensures that it can be applied across various settings and for individuals at any stage of their learning journey. Whether used to enhance employability, support career progression, or boost life satisfaction, these essential skills empower students to thrive in any role and contribute to a stronger economy.

We are excited to integrate Skills Builder into our curriculum both through explicit lessons and threaded through lessons, ensuring that our students are equipped with the tools they need to succeed in their education and beyond.
