Year 7 Diploma 

BGS Diploma

A key element of the work in year 7 will centre around the BGS Diploma.

The Diploma aims to develop key study skills and habits in order to lay the foundations to develop resilience, limit stress and anxiety to ensure future well-being and academic success.

There are 6 themes, with a focus on one each half term and a series of challenges to complete throughout the year (BGS Diploma).  We want all students to be:

• Organised and Reflective – bringing the correct equipment and meeting deadlines

• Excellent Communicators – both orally, in writing and presentations

• Collaborators – working with their teachers, peers and vertical form members

• Persevering – not giving up and developing strategies to get unstuck

• Resourceful- being proactive and taking initiative in using information, acting on advice and working alongside teachers

• Challengers – setting challenging goals and managing their own progress
