Slaughter and May is extending its career advice and tutorial programme with a North London school as part of the PRIME social mobility initiative.

The magic circle firm will fund its programme of weekly one-to-one tutorials, workshops and career events at Islington's Central Foundation Boys' School for a further three years when the current two-year arrangement comes to an end in the summer.

It is estimated that a 90-strong mix of partners, associates and business services staff have provided tutoring on the programme, known as the Key Project, since its March 2012 launch. Over the past 12 months volunteers have contributed over 900 hours.
