The language of essential skills is used in a variety of aspects within the school, such as lessons, extra curricular 'skills' lessons in the morning and the school's Being Bold days. The school has encouraged the essential skills language to be used by teachers, students and senior staff. Some assemblies have also started to reference the essential skills. Bolder has also created a reward driven 'passport' for our drop down extra curricular days which incorporate the skills to ensure pupils are actively engaging with the sessions and realise the benefit of them.
