Sixth Form:
This week, students in Year 12 have been completing a FutureLearn course of their choice as part of the Enrichment and Personal Development programme. These online short courses are written by some of the world’s best universities and will help to give students a taste of post-18 study.
Next term students will be able to partake in volunteering and work experience opportunities, both in school and within the wider community. It is wonderful to see students actively engaging in conversations with teachers to find out how they can help and support younger students in the school. A massive well done to Carmen and Lacy who have already started their ‘reading mentor’ role.
Congratulations to Year 13 student Debony who has been promoted to platoon sergeant in CCF (Combined Cadet Force).
