ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK WITH YOUNGER STUDENTS, mentoring in mathematical and reading skills and joining up with the Year 11 Student Council. NATIONAL CITIZEN SERVICE, the opportunity to undertake voluntary work which is widely admired by employers and universities. DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD, the opportunity to get involved, leading expeditions, skill development and service to the community. TRIPS AND VISITS, both educational and rewarding as well as nationally and internationally, including access to a wide range of outside speakers. WORK EXPERIENCE, to enhance applications to university and future employers, we encourage external voluntary roles. We feel that this opportunity will allow you to investigate a particular career path or profession in which you may have an interest. Universities view work experience as a vital addition to the UCAS application and personal statement. For students that do not intend to go to university, this will be an essential complement to their CV. THE EXTENDED PROJECT QUALIFICATION (EPQ), This is an extra qualification that provides an opportunity for students to extend their abilities beyond the Key Stage 5 syllabus and prepare for independent working. The skills gained and developed during this course, prepare students for university and their chosen future career. It is of great benefit to students and gains AS Level UCAS points. Universities value the experiences of this course so much, that often it reduces the conditional offer of entry requirements that a student receives. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT UNIVERSITIES, COLLEGES AND EMPLOYERS ARE INTERESTED IN WELLROUNDED STUDENTS WITH THE INITIATIVE AND PERSONAL SKILLS TO FACE THE MODERN WORLD. WITH THIS IN MIND, WE OFFER YOU A RANGE OF OPPORTUNITIES AND ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES TO FURTHER YOUR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGHOUT YOUR TIME WITH US.
