Digital Leaders

It is amazing to see students in years 7, 8 and 9 working together as Digital Leaders. In the images they are enrolling into the Childnet Digital Leader Programme, as well as producing material to be used within our school and our local feeder schools. They meet every two weeks to plan their role. As the programme progresses there will also be additional activities in between the meetings for them to do. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop our young leaders.

Preparing for Learning Review

During the run up to Learning Review, we are empowering the students to be ready to take those risks and have professional conversations with their parents and tutors. In Year 7 we have focused on five of our 13 Winston skills and explored situations where these skills can be used. Following this the students developed some strategies on how to improve the skills of; Listening, fitness for purpose, overcoming “stuckness” , risk taking and self perception. In their Winston Extra Lessons the students where involved in a “hot desk” situation, where they have a 10 minute conversation with another student. One of the students became the tutor and the other was the the student. They experienced what the learning review situation would be like and how they can construct their answers and build in their strategies. Year 7 came away from these lessons feeling more prepared and confident for their 15 minute learning review appointments.
