Employers and Education Providers

Thank you to all the employers and education providers who already support Kingsbury Green Academy. We really appreciate the time and effort that you give to our school and our students benefit greatly from your contribution.

We always welcome volunteers and opportunities and support from the local business and education community.

If you are interested in getting involved or working with our students there are numerous opportunities for you to do so throughout the year. You can find details of this on our KGA Careers Programme Dates Summary 2024-2025. You can register your interest in the various areas of the careers programme via the Opportunities form.

Please also refer to the Provider Access Statement and contact Catherine Young, Careers Leader at careers@kga.ascendlearningtrust.org.uk if you would like to find out more.

Before a visit to Kingsbury Green Academy to work with our pupils, you will need to read our SAFEGUARDING GUIDE FOR VISITORS.
