Our Academic Leaders were involved in the Pitch Perfect public speaking workshop with Young Leaders Academy. They learnt breathing strategies, strategies for structuring a speech, tips for keeping their audience engaged, as well as getting involved in a variety of different speaking games. It was great to see our students talking with passion and confidence about a variety of topics and supporting their peers through any nerves using the strategies that they had learnt. It was great to see both quiet and confident boys having a go at public speaking in front of the group, and hopefully you will see the boys contributing and presenting in class with greater self- awareness in the coming weeks.
Approving Excellent Programmes
Our programs are accredited by Open Awards, a nationally recognised UK awarding authority
What Does Open Awards Accreditation Mean For You?

Open Awards Badge of Excellence
The Badge of Excellence is Open Awards’ quality assurance mark that recognises excellent training, development and learning provision and meaningful outcomes.
It has been designed for programmes that would not be enhanced by the delivery of regulated qualifications or quality endorsed units.
There are excellent pieces of work being completed across the public, private and third sectors that are achieving impressive outcomes for young people and adults that are not easily aligned to a qualification but still deserve to be nationally recognised as an achievement and outcome for the learner.

The Awards emphasize teamwork, communication, and responsibility, with an array of modules that teach essential skills such as session planning, event management, and behavioural guidance. The children are able to develop their confidence, self esteem, communication, problem solving skills, creativity skills, teamwork skills and conflict resolution skills.

Are we really giving children the 'how to' in public speaking? How to use their voice, use gestures, tone of voice, pitch and pace. Are they (children) being clear, concise and coherent in their communication? We have been using the Pitch Perfect program since last year and continue this year with 30+ students. It gives us a clear framework to work to.

The ‘Reach for the Stars’ sports leader award has transformed our playground. Before the Sports Leaders were at odds on what to do. Now they’re excited and have a whole library of activities and the playground is buzzing because of it.
