Godolphin has partnered with the Newmarket Academy to launch the Newmarket Academy Godolphin Beacon Project, a five-year collaboration to enhance learning experiences for students and provide pupils access to a wide range of career paths. The program, which received a £250,000 boost from Godolphin, is facilitated and managed by Racing To School, and will provide experiences ranging from learning days in the local community and businesses to personal career guidance.
Speaking at the launch, Nick Froy, Principal of the Newmarket Academy, said, “The partnership represents Newmarket Academy's commitment to placing itself at the heart of the community, and the contribution being made to the Academy by Godolphin extend the life chances and choices of the young people of Newmarket. I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed and to Godolphin for supporting this wonderful initiative.”
Hugh Anderson, Managing Director for Godolphin in the UK and Dubai, added, “This is an exciting new partnership for both Godolphin and the Academy, which will boost education and employment opportunities among young people in Newmarket. It offers unique behind the scenes access, making the learning experience a special one which students want to engage in and represents His Highness Sheikh Mohammed's ongoing commitment to Newmarket and those who live in the communities within which we work.”
Early initiatives will include this week's Maths In Action activity days at Newmarket Racecourse and, in the first week of October, students from the Newmarket Academy will participate in Dubai Future Champions Education Week.
