Kenton School

Kenton Combined Cadet Force continues to grow from strength to strength with Year 7-10 parading. Our cadets have accessed their first weekend camp and have successfully completed emergency first aid training, part of their basic cadre which they passed with flying colours, all demonstrating leadership, organisation and communication skills, resilience and respect. If your child is interested in joining the CCF, please ask them to speak with Miss Gibson or Mr Lilley direct or they can reply to the CCF emails to join the waiting list.

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award (DofE) give young people the chance to do something completely new, taking them out of their comfort zone and into a place where they's push themselves and have amazing new experiences. By participating in the programme, they will build confidence, resilience, skills and new friendship groups.

Games are fun, it's no surprise that having a good time helps your mental health. But the benefits of playing Dungeons and Dragons go deeper than just fun. D&D provides an opportunity for players to be creative, work as a team, develop social-emotional skills, build confidence, and learn to express themselves.
