GASP Mechanics
At the start of the term eight boys, from Year 10, completed the GASP Mechanic's project. Over the six week course the boys learnt about the different aspects of mechanics and improving teamwork and communication skills. The course finished with the boys building a small Go-Kart. They were lucky enough to have a go in the Go-kart and even Mrs Walton had a go in the Go-kart and lives to tell the tale. Well Done Boys !
Army Programme
A group of thirty Year 10 students have completed the School Module Programme, with the Army, this half term. They have completed a number of different modules across the six weeks including, planning, Values of the Army, teamwork, leadership and Health and Fitness. This has been a great programme for students who aspire to be in the Army but also students who want to develop their personal skills.
The session the students really enjoyed the unit on health fitness, where they dressed as soldiers and had to work as a team to carry equipment across an assault course.
Chelsea FC
Through our relationship with Chelsea FC, we were offered the opportunity to work with Chelsea FC Foundation with their 'Inspire' program which runs with the Premier League and the social youth voice action #iwill campaign. The 'Inspire' program includes work towards a Princes Trust Achieve Award certificate.
A Chelsea representative visits our school and together we deliver a weekly 20 hour 'Inspire' educational programme, to a group of students, in both Year 7 & Year 8, who want to reach their potential.
By participating in this programme, the selected students will gain maximum benefits; be able to improve their relationships with their peers; and their own self-belief. The content of their Digital Intelligence Framework is designed to inspire and engage students in a smaller group setting. The students develop key skills to support them to reach their potential in the digital world and in turn, improve their confidence with their learning throughout their educational years. Both the year groups have impressed with their commitment to the course.
