Year 7 Future Leaders

Mrs Lewis and Mr Doel planned and organised an Activity Day for all of our Year 7 students, on the field. It is one of the few occasions that they have all been together as a Year Group and with limited opportunities recently to work together it seemed the perfect opportunity to collaborate.

As part of our curriculum offer, the WCSC have developed a Leadership Skills activity day which took place today. Delivered through outdoor education, the learning programme required students to work in groups of different sizes and apply classroom learning from the Winston Extra curriculum to situations outside the in-school environment. Activities included orienteering, team tasks and various initiative activities, with each session being followed by dedicated reflective learning exercises, led by school staff, focusing on developing their emotional intelligence, self-awareness, self-perception, confidence as learners, communication skills, teamwork and leadership skills. The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience as you can see in the photographs. We look forward to seeing how the students incorporate the skills they learnt today in their lessons!

The rain held off for the morning and then students went back to their lesson for period 5.
