Years 10 - 11

In KS4, we aim to help students achieve their potential at GCSE, to encourage them in responsible behaviour and to help them make sound decisions as they consider their future role in society.

Topics considered in the year 10 programme are:

• discrimination;
• health; citizenship;
• money matters;
• and how to be successful students.

The organisation of a party for senior citizens provides a great deal of fun as well as valuable opportunities for students to use their talents in serving the wider community.

The year 11 programme builds on these themes and also considers choices for future study and preparation for work experience, which is carried out after GCSEs in the summer.

Year 11 Conference

In March 2005 the school held a Year 11 Conference which embraced a variety of workshops with girls being able to choose which ones suited them best.

These included:

• Sport by Design (a session of interactive sports activities)
• Team building (working in pairs, small groups and larger teams)
• Colour Confidence (a programme which helps identify the shades of colour which enhance personal appearance and help make a good first impression)
• Aromatherapy (learning how to give yourself a spa treatment at home)
• Alternative Medicine (discovering different methods of healing, including homeopathy)
• Stress management (identifying the causes and symptoms of stress and alleviating them through exercise, activities and relaxation)
• Heuristics (a fun look at the history of invention)
• Animation (working in groups to produce a short animated film)
