Year 9 Goal Setting

Year 9 students have been setting goals to ensure they thrive during the new school year.

They attended a start of term assembly with Head of Year Jennie Davies, in which they were encouraged to think about what they want to achieve over the year ahead.

Ms Davies spoke to them about the importance of refocusing after the holidays and ensuring they are well prepared for the return to school life.

The students were asked to consider one thing that they will do to ensure the new term is a positive and successful one, and to set four goals for the school year.

They were also asked to think about who they want to be and what they want to achieve.

The Year 9s were reminded that they are well settled into school life with excellent relationships with peers and staff. They are also familiar with the routines and expectations of our school, are hard working and take pride in their achievements and progress.

The messages of the assembly aligned with the ‘epistemic apprenticeship’ which is built into the fabric of our school.

The term, coined by the Professor of Psychology and Education Guy Claxton, underscores the ways in which school provides guidance and role modelling for every aspect of students’ performance.

This includes not just academic work but the social, emotional and values-driven dimensions of students’ lives.

Essentially it is about creating an environment and opportunities to serve an apprenticeship in being the best you can be.
