Drop Down Day was not just about breaking from the usual routine for our Year 11 students, it was an opportunity to explore, learn and set their sights on the path ahead. The day kicked off with boundless energy as students enjoyed a fun sports day event. Laughter filled the air, and the spirit of camaraderie soared as they participated in a range of games and activities. Opportunities such as this are important to help student wellbeing as they manage the pressures of Year 11. The highlight of the day came in the form of an enlightening talk from an external speaker, the esteemed Leslie Bachelor CBE. Lesley was the Director General of the institute of export for 12 years. She has been an advisor to both our Government and many international bodies on trade, investment, manufacturing and anticorruption. In the afternoon, the students were based in the Sixth Form where they learned more about post-16 options. They had the chance to meet current Year 12 students who shared their experiences and wisdom, shedding light on what it's really like to study various subjects at A Levels. It was an opportunity to peek into the future, to learn, and to make informed choices about the paths they’ll tread in their academic journeys.
