YEAR 13 ELECTIVES
As our Year 13s return from the Spring Break, they would normally be gearing up to start their exam session. This year, in place of the exam session, we want to provide an enriching programme of pre-university and life-skills electives for students to participate in. This programme will run for the full 4 weeks that would normally have taken for the exam session (19th April - 14th May). HERE you will find the electives programme and course descriptions, and at the end of the brochure you will find the link to the sign-up form. We encourage students to sign up to as many electives as possible.

IBCP - International L3 Diploma Enterprise and Entrepreneurship In Focus
This week I would like to start a series of ‘in focus’ mini articles looking a little more closely at some of the elements within the Careers Programme. Each week we will focus on a specific area and some of the student achievements and success stories. This week it is the International L3 Diploma Enterprise and Entrepreneurship and the first of 7 student businesses.
SMART 4 is a business currently in its development stages, started by budding entrepreneur Edward. The idea behind his venture is to supply environmentally-friendly, solar-charged portable power units for outside events, remote construction or in fact any location where traditional power connections are difficult or unavailable. Edward is using the skills he learns in the classroom to build a business plan, create a marketing campaign, make financial decisions and create a brand identity. He is aware of the competitive nature of the market but truly believes that SMART 4 is the future of portable power solutions as we move away from traditional fuel driven generators and towards clean sustainable energy solutions. Take a look at his website to find out more.
