As we continue to celebrate Volunteers’ Week, we’d like to recognise the fantastic contribution our Sixth Form students make to school life.

From mentoring younger students in Maths and English, to providing invaluable support in classrooms across a range of subjects, our student volunteers help others to thrive while developing their own leadership and communication skills.We are also proud to see a number of our students beginning their training as Mental Health First Aiders, equipping themselves with the knowledge and confidence to support the wellbeing of those around them.Their willingness to give their time, share their skills and support others embodies the values of kindness, responsibility and community that we strive to foster at our school.Thank you to all our Sixth Form volunteers for the positive difference you make every day.#Volunteering #MakingADifference #BringingOutTheBest ...
