In addition to the onsite learning opportunities, our year 10 pupils have had the ongoing opportunity to take part in virtual learning and contact sessions. It has been great to see the boys even if it has been through the screen!
Over the sessions we have been engaging in a range of different activities including maths and brain teaser challenges. We hope that in the coming weeks the boys will feel confident enough to expand their virtual learning program.
Thursday's session will have a careers based focus, we will be discussing future career pathways and introducing our pupils to the Flying start website.
Flying Start Southampton is funded by the SUN Network and is designed to aid young people leaving school with any challenges they have in terms of their next steps. The website was launched to "fill a gap" in Careers education and information when Year 11 ended earlier than planned.
The focus of the site is in three sections. Section 1: Making a plan for your future, Section 2: Developing your study skills and Section 3: Subject specific support.
Although the site is aimed at Year 11's it is also being used by Year 9 and up pupils for information, advice and signposting.
We hope to see lots of you logging in tomorrow!
