I am excited to introduce to you our programme of Luckley House Masterclasses and Workshops.

I look forward to working closely with our feeder schools to share the breadth of expertise afforded to our pupils by our specialist teaching team.

Our talented and forward thinking teaching staff would be delighted to work with you to provide tailored sessions to meet the individual requirements of your pupils. This could be in the form of lessons and events hosted at Luckley, or taught within your own school.

I would like to start with offering the opportunities detailed within this booklet.

1. Dance workshop - an energetic 60-minute session with one of our resident dance specialists.

2. History workshop - a fascinating 80-minute lesson, studying under-water archaeology in sunken pirate ships, with Head of History, Mr Phillips.

3. Youth Speaks - A two-hour masterclass where pupils research a topic in groups and prepare a debate to deliver to the rest of the group, run by Head of English, Miss Bahbra.

4. Sports Masterclasses - a full and varied programme of sessions delivered by our excellent sports department. In addition to the opportunities for your pupils to experience specialised coaching and teaching, our sports programme offers valuable CPD for your own teaching staff.

This programme will evolve over time as we add more classes and events, and we are very open to receiving suggestions from you as to what you would like us to provide.

DANCE WORKSHOPS

Our resident dance specialists would like to present a 60 minute dance workshop for pupils in Years 5 to 8.

Pupils will learn street dance style choreography and practice the routines, before delivering a fun and energetic performance.

DISCOVER THE TREASURES BENEATH THE SEA A FASCINATING PIRATE SHIP-THEMED HISTORY WORKSHOP FOR PUPILS IN YEARS 5 TO 8.

The coastline of Britain is a treasure trove of historical information; everyone knows about the Mary Rose, but there are more than 40,000 other ships waiting to be explored.

The question is - how do we get that information to the surface? And once we have it, how can we use it?

In this 80 minute hands-on workshop, pupils get to see the difficulties of exploring historical sites that are underwater. They will also work with undersea photographs to draw conclusions about the past, and explore an online database of wreck sites that have been recorded by underwater archaeologists.

YOUTH SPEAKS LEARN THE ART OF EFFECTIVE AND PERSUASIVE DEBATING!

The ability to deliver a convincing point of view or argument and to present your thoughts in a clear and articulate way is a skill which is valued highly in school and in the world at large. As such, we are delighted to offer students the opportunity to participate in this two-hour masterclass on public speaking.

During the session, pupils will research a topic in small groups and prepare to engage in a debate on the issue, demonstrating their ability to frame a line of argument and support this with appropriate evidence.

DELIVERED BY LUCKLEY’S ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
