continues to make <strong>Cranford</strong>’s students truly shine<br />
Factor Team are responsible for organising activities focused on improving personal<br />
The Wand social development whilst learning new skills and gaining new experiences. Our<br />
aim in WFactor is to provide our students with a rich set of experiences that serve to inspire them to be<br />
engaged citizens who can effectively interact with peers and adults whilst enjoying and learning about<br />
the wider opportunities available to them beyond the taught curriculum. We set our students apart from<br />
the crowd when moving on from school not just making them outstanding on<br />
paper but as individuals that truly shine.<br />
We are now in our fourth year of running this unique initiative<br />
and this year we have delivered a comprehensive enrichment<br />
programme as well as a wealth of other opportunities for students<br />
to make new friends, gain new experiences and learn new skills.<br />
Our activities are open to all students and<br />
over 75 different experiences have been on<br />
offer, including volunteering in the local<br />
community, kick boxing, Latin, BBC<br />
Schools Radio project, creating the<br />
props and set for the school production,<br />
and classical civilizations alongside<br />
some old favorites, to name but a few .<br />
WFactor continues to provide an<br />
afternoon of activities to make<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> students truly shine.<br />
Kevin Biggs (Senior Teacher / WFactor)<br />
“My first WFactor was robotics and I chose it because it was interesting<br />
and I love learning about technology. We first started by building a Lego<br />
Mindstorms® robot and there was an assortment to pick from which had<br />
different abilities. I learnt about teamwork and helping others since there<br />
were a lot of parts and we had a deadline by which to finish the complex<br />
construction. During the last 2 weeks we had permission to use the iPad with<br />
a compatible app to control the robot and move it wherever we wanted, our<br />
robot worked and we had a lot of fun”.<br />
Oussama Zemry (year 10)<br />
“Bollywood dancing was the best WFactor I’ve had this year as it<br />
was very entertaining, fun and I love Bollywood dancing. Exploring<br />
comedy was just unbelievable, there were times I was laughing so<br />
much that tears came while laughing so much”.<br />
Gracey Mehra (year 7)<br />
“Over the years I’ve had many WFactors but my favourite<br />
by far was crafts because I was with all my friends and I got<br />
to make a vase spray painted gold and silver. WFactor is a<br />
chance to meet new people and have a chance to relax”.<br />
