“The Course Director was inspirational and his team were positive, energetic and brilliant at relating to the students. I had a great day and speaking to just a few of them before they left they too were effusive in their praise of the day and its value, even the cynical ones!”

Year 13 Leadership and Mentoring
Future Foundations coaches will be supported by your year 13 future leaders.
Selected year 13 students will receive leadership training before the induction days, and then have the opportunity to put this into practice with either the year 7s, or 12s, or both.
There are three options for the year 13 leadership training available.
Option A
Two hour Year 13 leadership training in parallel with the start of the year 7 or 12 Induction Day (or both).
Year 13 leaders then join the day and put what they’ve learnt into practice.
Option B
Half-day leadership training with Year 13 the day before the Year 7 or 12 (or both) induction programme.
Year 13 leaders then join the following day and put what they have learnt into practice.
