This term some of our Year 8 students have been producing work for<br />
the ‘arts & minds’ competition. This is a national event which celebrates<br />
diversity. Mr McKenzie states that he has been particularly impressed<br />
with the creativity and ‘out of the box thinking’ of our students. Their<br />
work has been submitted and we look forward to finding out how they<br />
have fared!<br />

Oracy Initiative<br />
In September 23 students were selected from Year 9 to trial Oracy<br />
activities. Research from The Faculty of Education at Cambridge<br />
University was used to underpin a framework consisting of four strands<br />
(physical, linguistic, cognitive and socio-emotional). The sessions took<br />
place on Friday afternoons and were well attended on a voluntary basis.<br />
The aim of the initiative is to develop confidence in scenarios requiring<br />
any form of public speaking. Below is an example of one of the tasks<br />
that was set.<br />
