The Edge

WHAT IS THE EDGE:

An exciting new opportunity for Year 12 Students. In addition to the traditional A-Level subjects something new is being offered within the timetable – this means that, like your core subjects, this is mandatory. A selection of courses is being offered which will provide students the chance to expand their skill set or competencies from leadership to commercial awareness; from creativity to team work. There are a wide range of courses available such as Cooking, Enterprise, Construction and Theatre Lighting. Each course is one period a week and will last five or ten weeks. There will be four of these five week blocks ending at Easter. At the end of the course the experience and the evidence of a broadening skill set will be logged on the ‘Unifrog’ online platform under Competencies. Most of the courses provide multiple competencies. This will provide students with the required ‘Edge’ when it comes to entering employment / Higher Education. www.frensham.org/edge
