Senior students have started working towards their Outdoor Leadership Awards.

Year 11 students have been taking part in special training this week, in preparation for a programme of outdoor events.

The training was aimed at preparing them for Wild Science days, which are held for our partner primary schools.

On these days, our student leaders work with younger students to ensure they have an exciting, safe, and educational day. They play games with them, support them in the outdoors, share stories and help engage them with a range of fun activities.

In recent years, our student leaders have played an integral role in helping their younger peers to explore nature, step out of their comfort zones, and develop valuable life skills.

In turn, the Outdoor Leaders gain self-confidence, leadership abilities, real experience in taking responsibility for others, solve problems, and improve at personal management.

After completing their training, our student leaders are now looking forward to the Wild Science days which will begin later this month.
