‘Connect Programme’

The Connect Programme has been designed as a platform to deliver a diverse, personalised experience to our students. Sessions that give our students the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy, safe, make them well rounded individuals and prepare them for life and work in modern Britain.

The Connect sessions are 30 minutes long and each year group (9,10 &11) have two sessions per week delivered by their form tutor, internal and external speakers.
