A new community partnership project was launched in September 2019 for all our lower sixth students.
The aims of the project are to enable students to:
- make a positive difference to other people’s lives
- become more involved in the world outside school
- gain greater awareness of issues facing other communities
- reinforce their subject knowledge
- build upon communication and team-working skills
- learn new skills and gain work experience
- become well-rounded and empathetic individuals
This project also allows students to participate in the ‘vInspired’ volunteering award scheme, a nationally recognised, UCAS endorsed award for 10, 50 or 100 hours of flexible volunteering. Find out more at Vinspired.
Students are also required to volunteer one afternoon a week and are working with a variety of organisations such as:
- QEF & MERU
- BUPA Wingham Court
- Elmbridge Rentstart
- Claygate Primary School
- St Paul’s Catholic Primary
- Brooklands Museum
- Whitely Village
- St Andrew’s Primary School, Cobham
- Cobham Centre for the Community
- Rose Theatre, Kingston
- Keep Britain Tidy
- Painshill Park
