We are delighted to share that our recent Sixth Form residential trip to Kingswood in Ashford was a tremendous success! Over five days, our students took part in the Skills4Life programme, created by the National Citizen Service (NCS), where they embraced new challenges and developed invaluable life skills. The programme focused on developing creativity, teamwork, communication, and critical thinking—qualities essential as students consider their future educational and career paths.
Activities were both exhilarating and purposeful, encouraging students to step outside their comfort zones. They worked collaboratively, built resilience, and embodied the attributes of the IB Learner Profile, such as being principled, caring and good communicators.
We are incredibly proud of every student who took part, facing each day with courage and commitment and we would like to thank NCS for their support in making this opportunity a memorable one for our students.
