Global Citizens

The world is becoming increasingly globalised and this theme is designed to broaden pupils' knowledge of different societies. There will be sessions with the MFL department to look at different cultures, including language as well as historical context and famous figures. This will be complemented by two mornings at a Cookery School where they will have the opportunity to try their hand at producing the local specialities. Intertwined through the theme will be cycling sessions focussing on how to be a considerate road user; a key aspect of any society.

Curiosity, Resourcefulness, Citizenship, Critical thinking, Respect, Courage, Responsibility, Resilience.

Winter

This theme will be completed by the whole year group during the winter months. Every pupil will complete a total of six hours of First Aid training, developing age-appropriate skills. Pupils will also start rehearsing for the Inter-Quarter Singing competition, with each Quarter forming a choir of combined First and Second Form, under the guidance of a Sixth Form Music Scholar.

Compassion, Resourcefulness, Citizenship, Responsibility, Teamwork, Critical thinking, Respect.

Team Players

The combined action of a group to achieve a common goal is one of the most powerful lessons to be learnt. In these formative activities, pupils will learn to recognise their own strengths and weaknesses as well as how to get the best out of their peers. They will be stretched on the climbing wall and learn to manoeuver a kayak. With their feet back on the ground, they will rotate through the key backstage skills at the Stahl Theatre, with sessions led by specialist technicians.

Critical Thinkers

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. In a digital world, we are all subjected to a constant stream of information. The activities running throughout this theme will focus on the persuasive power of advertising, with pupils creating their own campaign to sell a product. In other sessions they will learn how to approach a cryptic crossword and attempt to break out of an escape room.

Climate Champions

The influence of humans on our planet runs widely and deeply. Small changes can, however, make a significant difference and pupils will be challenged to give a new lease of life to unwanted items. They will learn about textiles, reinventing items of clothes that are too small, too broken or too out of fashion. In the Patrick Engineering Centre, they will upcycle an item of ‘junk’ and they will explore the potential of artificial intelligence to meet the UN sustainable development goals.
