INNOVATION AWARD FOR 'INSPIRING MINDS' PROGRAMME

Miss Orlandini, our Head of PSHE, received a national innovation award on Wednesday 14th June for her work leading 'Inspiring Minds' in front of over 100 grammar school heads at a conference at the RAF Club, Piccadilly, London.

'Inspiring Minds' is a character education project whereby Y10 and 12 pupils are trained to be health ambassadors ready to deliver PSHE lessons and drop-down days to Y5 pupils across the locality.

35+ Veseyans have delivered a series of lessons in 6 primary schools since September with a particular focus on schools with higher numbers of disadvantaged pupils.

As part of receiving the award Miss Orlandini and 4 of our pupils (Mukunth and Elliot from Y10 and Mariyah and Alfie from Y12) all spoke about what they have learned from undertaking this project. They did brilliantly!
