The new block of Wider Achievement for Term 1 and 2 started this afternoon. Staff are offering a variety of activities, and pupils were invited to choose the top four. While a handful of pupils did not get their first choice this time, they are guaranteed their top pick for the next block.
This whole-school collaboration brings staff and pupils together for interdisciplinary learning. It helps students develop core meta-skills, including teamwork, leadership, initiative, adaptability, resilience, communication, creativity, and curiosity.
The activities are as follows
Culture Club – this group will provide opportunities to learn traditional skills. This block it is knitting and weaving.
Creativity and Enterprise – making Christmas crafts to sell at the craft fair in November.
Pupil voice – a combination of secondary pupil council, Secondary party and organising school fundraising days.
Sports- mixed sports for mixed ages in the leisure centre
