TWO-PART WORKSHOPS
The Empower Programme
What will the session cover?
This programme, which runs over two-workshops, aims to improve the metacognition of young men and close the gender attainment gap in GCSE outcomes. The programme provides students with the opportunity to gain a renewed sense of belonging within education. Students will cover some of the current issues facing young men around masculinity and encourage students to engage in open discussions, use their voice and listen to the views of others.

Empowering Student Voice Workshops
What will the session cover?
This two-part workshop is available to students who are part of the school Student Council, or who have an interest in student voice. The workshops are designed to support student councils to reflect on their current practice and consider ways for improvement. Broken down into two workshops, students will first look at how to gather student voice on behalf of their peers and then turn this into actions. On returning in workshop two, students will reflect on their prior learning and will turn their attention on how to raise concerns in a professional and effective manner.
Year Groups: Year 7-11( members of student council) Gatsby Benchmarks: 7
