Extra-curricular
One expectation is that our students complete 20 hours of community volunteering,
which can be done in or outside of school, or in the wider community through an
approved charity or voluntary organisation. Some activities involve paired reading with
younger students, or helping out in lessons or clubs. These hours are tracked and
benefit our students and form part of future personal references.
This is an in-house bespoke programme to develop skills useful for life beyond
the Sixth Form. This includes delivering the requirements for British Values,
Citizenship, SMSC, RE, careers and health education. It includes exciting
modules such as self-defence, cooking on a budget, first aid, debating and
applying for a university course, an apprenticeship or employment.
We offer our students the opportunity to undertake the Extended Project Qualification. Students will study a topic of
their choice and be guided through this qualification by a dedicated team of teachers from start to the final project
assessment. This qualification is recognised by all universities as well as potential employers.
The Duke of Edinburgh Award is offered to all students in the Sixth Form and is an internationally recognised
qualification. Transferable skills such as organisation, resilience, teamwork, volunteering, and many more are
developed.
Early in the Autumn term, we appoint House Captains from the year 12 intake. Many of
these students develop their leadership skills to a great extent and they are then in line
for posts of Senior Prefects and Head Boy/Head Girl when we come to appoint them in
the Summer term. Senior Prefects will have a very important role within the school, both
supporting staff on every day issues and representing the school at a wide range of
events throughout the year.
