Year 7 Connect Club
As part of a Hertfordshire schools initiative we were invited to be part of a transition project with some selected year 7 students.
The project aimed to provide opportunities for our students to develop key characteristics and leadership skills in order to enable them to assist with the transition process for the year 6 students joining us in September.

*Care: Empathy & Kindness
*Communicate: Consult, Question, Involve, Engage
*Collaborate: Planning and delivery of joint primary & secondary activities
It has been a real pleasure to work with the students who have embraced orienteering, trampolining, team building, yoga, archery and kickboxing activities. They then took their new found skills and confidence forward to help with the transition day for the year 6 students as well as some school tours, and I am sure they will be happily involved with open evening in the new academic year…
