In September 2015, The Crest Academies will integrate the single-sex academies to form one mixed school, The Crest Academy. Many students are not concerned about how the school is going to operate, however others are worried that if it was to be mixed, it might affect their education. We interviewed several students to ask their opinions on this topic and how they thought it would transform a student's day at Crest.
Most students are not concerned with the school becoming mixed, as it would ensure that in the future when they are looking for a job it will not be awkward. Also, when transitioning to Sixth Form or College they will be comfortable with their surroundings. But most importantly, it will allow them to be prepared for their futures. Others think that it is a bad thing because ‘some boys/girls would continuously disrupt the lesson.’ A few people think that if ‘the boys ,who mess around, see girls looking down and completing the work that it would encourage them to do it too.’
To Be Or Not To Be? To be!
