Volunteering

We believe that by playing an active role in the community, students are better prepared to make a meaningful contribution to their future society. This is central to our ethos.

A sense of service

For instance, Sixth Form students complete two sixweek volunteering placements, focused on giving back to our community. Students also lead lessons at local primary schools, carry out environmental work, visit local residential homes and volunteer for a range of organisations.

During our Field Days, students challenge themselves in practical ways and develop a sense of service. They also fund-raise for charitable causes and host events throughout the year. This all helps our students to ‘give back’, to grow their listening and communication skills, and to be more socially integrated.

Just a few hours a week of effort and commitment make a real difference. By playing an active role within our local community and beyond, our students have an enhanced awareness of the needs of others and cultivate a sense of service.
