PARTNERSHIPS
The partnership has provided our year 10 students with a fantastic variety of experiences and opportunities that would not have been otherwise available to our young people .
partner schools and students were involved with the tree planting project in Elizabeth Meads . We continue to host a Physics Festival with Physics Partners , as well as providing CPD sessions for Physics teachers . Partner school pupils have attended rowing sessions at the boathouse ; computer programming , philosophy , art history , photography , sports , science , history and geography sessions , among many others . We continue to provide support with university admissions to pupils at partner schools , and have developed an ecology work experience placement for pupils at Park Community School .
We continue to develop our provision for partner schools , in conversation with teachers from those schools , and are able to provide an increasing range of online resources in science , and careers as well as talks and lectures . Our focus remains on organising trips to the College for partner schools ’ pupils , with transport provided by the College .
