Dear Parents/Carers,
I am delighted to share with you our Year 12 Programme for this year’s Cultural Capital Week which will be held from Friday 14th July to Thursday 20th July. The usual student timetable will be suspended for these days, with students returning to their normal timetable for the final day of the Academy year.
All students will be engaged in a variety of experiences throughout the Academy week as follows:
- exploring higher education opportunities, apprenticeships and employment;
- gaining key employability, interview and money management skills;
- working in groups on cross-curricular projects and activities which will help them develop a range of teamwork, project management and project solving skills as well as think more laterally and critically across the curriculum.
An overview of the programme is detailed below:
