Students in Year 7 have been showing off their progress at the Core Skills Improvement Project exhibition. Our Year 7s have been undertaking a project to show improvement in a skill of their choice over a 5 week period. The students’ choices were as varied as juggling, dice stacking, drawing, and ventriloquism!
At the exhibition students were then interviewed by each other, Sixth Form students, teachers and parents about their learning and how they had shown progress in their chosen skill. We were delighted to be joined by so many of our Year 7 families for our pupil interviews. There were over 100 families who we are able to join us.
Mr. S. Edwards, Core Skills Co-ordinator said “This project gives many students the confidence that if you spend time practicing, you can see the improvement you can make. We have used the motto, ‘practice makes progress’ rather than the old saying ‘practice makes perfect’. I have been delighted with the way the students have shown a Growth Mindset and really challenged themselves to make progress at their chosen skills and their ELLI dimensions. This exhibition has allowed us to celebrate the students’ hard work over the past few weeks.”
We would like to congratulate all of the students on their hard work and thank all of our Year 7 families and Sixth Formers who were able to attend the exhibition.
