Making a Difference

HELPING OTHERS AS A LEARNING LEADER

Learning Leaders is a compulsory part of Sixth Form life.

It involves choosing a subject you feel most confident with and once a fortnight, going to help a class in the lower school with this subject. During the class, you may be going round helping everyone or acting as more of a 1-to-1 and helping one individual who needs some extra support. Personally, I’ve been assisting as a 1-to-1 with a boy in a SEN year 9 English class. The class teacher has said that since I started, he has made excellent progress in lesson participation, contribution and also regularly shows up for the class ready to learn.

It has been a greatly rewarding experience knowing I’m making a difference to someone’s education and I look to forward to continuing with this for the foreseeable future.
