What the inspectors had to say about our senior programme |
  |
"After examinations are over, Year 8 children go on to a Leavers' Programme that gives them opportunities to help with younger students, go on visits and have talks and workshops with outside speakers. The girls spoke highly of a speaker who had been looking at issues of how they see themselves, encouraging the positives and learning to cope with the even laugh at the aspects of character they want to change. She also gave them tips about fashion, appearance and how to show one's best side. This activity was clearly very sensitively done and the girls enjoyed it and reported that it was really good fun.
Another important activity is leadership skills and training. This is so integral to the school's philosophy that with McKinsey Rogers International, all Year 7 and Year 8 pupils undertake a 6-part course on Team Building and Leadership.
The aim is to equip children with strategies and skills associated with effective teamwork and leadership. The children enjoyed this activity and also were very keen to talk about the Cross Keys Award, which celebrates formally the development of the children acorss the whole range of school life including study skills, health issues, community work and adventure training.
Both of these activities are to be commended and do evidence the aim of the school to offer only the best. This standard is exceeded".
