Chelsea Supporting our Students

Fifteen of our students were selected to participate in a programme run through Chelsea Football Club.

As explained in an earlier blog a number of workshops, provided by Isaac from Chelsea FC were held each week, at Winston, which focus on a variety of topics such as reading, social media and sustainability.

Students were tasked in groups to develop ideas for a sustainable and eco-friendly project and they have been refining their ideas over a number of week, culminating in a presentation held in Performance Space last week. Student learnt the importance of creating a sustainable lifestyle, as well as using techniques in design, problem-solving and teamwork to form ideas in order to overcome current issues.

Their presentations were outstanding, with each group presenting to a panel of judges. This requires confidence in the members of your group, good subject knowledge the ability to articulate your ideas clearly. It is not easy to stand up in front of your peers and staff, with the spot light on you! Yet these students handled the pressure incredibly well and did an amazing job. They were all winners.

Well done to every one who took part. Chelsea presented the school with a signed football shirt. A special thank you to Miss Exworth and Mrs Walton for setting up and organising the programme.
