About Us

Helping businesses, schools, teachers, and students to achieve more.

Our Mission

We are on a mission to bridge the gap between Education and Business whilst raising Aspirations Regardless of Circumstances.

We aim to achieve this mission by working in schools to deliver high-impact, engaging and practical programmes which give students the skills, mindset and most importantly, genuine belief that they can achieve more than their current circumstances may suggest.

This mission will also see us develop key partnerships with businesses to help develop programmes that prepare the next generation with the skills, insights and experiences they need.

About
Aim A Little Higher

Once we enter the real world, we are faced with a number of challenges that school quite often hasn't prepared us for. Finding ourselves saying "I wish I'd learnt that at school".

This has resulted in a national skills shortage, overwhelmed Educators, and under-prepared students.
Teachers are being asked to manage a full curriculum, Ofsted inspections and expectations, changing policies, and some form of a personal life too. Whilst businesses are opening their doors to young people but feeling underwhelmed with the capabilities and skills available, resulting in having to look elsewhere to fulfil roles.

There simply isn't enough space for teachers to plan and deliver programmes that provide the 'real world' skills like understanding money, raising aspirations, communication etc. Equally, businesses have not historically done well in being a presence in schools across the UK exposing students to the opportunities available and informing them what skills will be required.

That's where Aim A Little Higher comes in. For years, we have been the voice and additional support the Education sector needed. Our role is tohelp prepare students for the real world through our engaging, high energy and practical speeches and programmes. We also work with businesses to help them reach the future workforce years before it's time to recruit. Our combination of direct school sessions and CSR collaborations are making an impact on the UK Education sector and making the future for UK Business much brighter.

Schedule a call with the team to let us know the challenge you are currently facing, and we will explore how we can help you to overcome that challenge.
