It is my pleasure to introduce to you our new Autumn Term cocurricular and prep club booklet. This has been the start of an academic year like no other. Change has been necessary in these exceptional circumstances but with it comes huge possibility, as I hope you will discover as you look through the options for the Autumn Term. We are very much looking forward to our hugely popular and regular activities returning, such as APP in the Sport Dept, Orchestra, Football and Dance - as well as exciting new arrivals. Students will discover Fryer & The Chocolate Factory with Jennie and Annie in Food Tech, Adventure Club with Isaac, our new Outdoor Education & DofE Manager, as well as Girls’ Rugby with Ellie. Peter is directing a very special adaptation of ‘A Christmas Carol’ with the Sixth Form, whilst Year 10 can tread the boards in Moliere’s famous theatrical comedy ‘Tartuffe’ expertly reimagined by Damon. This term there is a real focus on wellbeing with Mindfulness sessions by Alasdair, Yoga with Isabelle and Guided Relaxation with Jo-Anne, Nicola and Amie. Prep club is available to each year group in a supervised quiet space for completing homework before tea is served Monday - Thursday. Please be aware that those using School Transport should sign up for Prep Club if they are not in an alternative hobby. In friendship, Natasha Coccia, Assistant Head: Co-Curricular & Outreach

I'm delighted to introduce myself to you as the new DofE and Outdoor Education Manager at Leighton Park. DofE is a unique and hugely rewarding qualification. The DofE award provides an opportunity to discover new interests and talents. It is also a fantastic tool to develop essential skills for life and work. As a recognised mark of achievement, the award is respected by employers and universities. In this booklet, you will find a range of activities which can support your DofE award and many of you may already be undertaking activities in or out of School that could count towards your DofE award. There are four sections to complete at Bronze and Silver level and five at Gold. They involve helping the community/environment, becoming fitter, developing new skills, planning, training for and completing an expedition and, for Gold only, working with a team on a residential activity. You will notice that all co-curricular activities are now colour coded, this indicates which activities count towards which section (Physical- Yellow, Skill – Blue, Volunteering – Red and Expedition - Green). My role is to help you design a tailored programme and support you through your award. Once you have designed your programme I will help you and your team prepare for an exciting, self-sufficient expedition in the countryside. I am looking forward to helping you on your DofE journey at Leighton Park. If you have any questions or queries I am here to help. You can email me on isaacwalker@leightonpark.com
