NORTHAMPTONSHIRE HOMEBUILDER DONATES EDUCATIONAL BOOKS TO CORBY SCHOOL

Corby Primary Academy has received 65 educational books written by Graduates on Barratt Homes’ ASPIRE Programme.

The book, titled ‘We Can Build’, takes readers on the journey of building a house through the various professions in the housebuilding industry and was illustrated by a young artist who has been supported by Charity.

The book introduces young learners to the basic building blocks of the built environment, sustainability and it hopes to inspire the next generation of Architects, Engineers and Site Managers.

In addition, 100% of the profits of the sale of the books are going to The Prince’s Trust; a charity that helps connect young people with mentors, career opportunities and provides pathways into inspiring futures.

Nikki Sinclair, Receptionist at Corby Primary Academy, said: “We were really grateful to receive the donation of ‘We Can Build’ books from Barratt Homes.

“The book will teach our Key Stage Two children about the process of building a new home and will perhaps inspire our pupils to consider a career in the construction industry.”

The school, which is close to the homebuilder’s Lyveden Fields development on Livingstone Road, was delighted to receive the donation.

Alison Raine, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Northampton, said: “We are really proud of our ASPIRE Graduates for the amazing book they have put together.

“The book covers all elements of construction including architecture, engineering, surveying, site management, construction and sales. We hope that the book might inspire some of the pupils of Corby Primary Academy to become the next generation in the industry.
