The Kindness Matters Programme greatly enhances the prospects of all those taking part; particularly when applying for future education or employment placements.  Every student has a Kindness Matters booklet which is signed by the teacher.  This booklet provides sound evidence of extra curricular activity for those involved, showing that they are prepared to go the extra mile for the benefit of the wider school community.  Kindness Matters sees students arrange with teachers to attend a lesson and assist them every week for an hour.  This involves our Sixth Form students taking part in a variety of activities with younger students including listening to them read, mentoring and supporting a student in a lesson with their learning. Many of our Key Stage 3 and 4 pupils are benefiting enormously from the support they are receiving in lessons with Sixth Form students.

Teachers have spoken highly of our Sixth Form mentors supporting students in various lessons, including literacy lessons.  

The integrated picture of learning, throughout the entire school, has had an enormous impact on the number of Key stage 3 and 4 pupils. 

This programme has proven to be effective and successful; both students and teachers have benefited greatly.
