We do make provision for all students to have experiences to apply essential skills. we do include two project-based learning, off-timetable days, to undertake either a Challenge Day or project as well as employer encounters through Work Experience for Year 10 & 12 with workplace or university visits in Years 8 & 9. Some students do use opportunities to apply and develop their skills outside school, for example, we run a Leadership Diploma in Year 9 that has many crossed links with the Skills Builder Framework.
