Academic Scholars aspire beyond the curriculum

The Academic Scholars in KS3 have recently embraced the opportunity to develop their learning beyond the curriculum. Scholars were invited to complete a wider reading project on a topic of their choice. As well as writing up what they have learnt, they came together to present their learning to each other in seminar based discussions in order to develop their independence, confidence and communication skills.

There was an incredible array of fantastic work and it was brilliant to see the girls speak with such passion and conviction.

You can see some of the brilliant work here.
