Crowdys Hill School

All our students participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award, it is incorporated into their curriculum. The Duke of Edinburgh Award is available to 14-24 year olds and it is the world’s leading Youth Achievement Award. It equips young people for life regardless of their background, culture, physical ability, skills or interests. This award is a personal challenge and not a competition against others; it pushes young people to their personal limits and recognises their achievements.

World of Work Programme has been set up with the ultimate aim of gaining paid employment for students who have the drive and desire to work. As well as supporting students with work experience placements, they are given support in all aspects of employment from writing their CVs to how to search for vacant jobs. Each class runs an enterprise project with a focus on collaboration.

Wellbeing is built into our foundations and is vital at this stage of your child’s life. If not emotionally in the right place, students will not participate and learn to the best of their ability – we understand the importance of identifying and using own strategies as well as building resilience and self-esteem in order to help prepare students for their future.
