Barrow URC Primary School in Barrow has received a donation of 45 educational books written by graduates on Barratt Homes’ ASPIRE Programme.
The book, named ‘We Can Build’, takes readers on the journey of building a house with various professions in the homebuilding industry.
Aimed at younger pupils, it introduces readers to the basic building blocks of the many professions required in the industry and 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 provide pathways into inspiring futures.
Helen Porter, Key Stage Two Lead at Barrow URC Primary School, said: “We were really grateful to receive the donation of ‘We Can Build’ books from Barratt Homes.
“The books will teach our 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 housebuilder’s development, The Brooks , on Whalley Road, and its pupils were delighted to have received the new books.
Rob Holbrook, Managing Director at Barratt Homes North West, said: “We are really proud of our ASPIRE graduates for producing such an amazing book.
“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 Barrow URC Primary School to become the next generation in the industry.
