The academy's Year 11 prefects have been helping out younger students with their handwriting.
The prefects mentor Year 7 and 8 students every morning before school, to help them increase their confidence with writing.
Matthew Collantine, one of the Year 11 mentors, explained:
“Helping the younger students not only gives them the chance to concentrate on their
writing, but also provides the Year 11 students with a worthwhile addition to their CVs and college applications. It is nice to make a connection with the younger students so that the atmosphere around school is more friendly.”
Daniel Newsome, a Year 7 student said:
“Spending time with my mentor has been really helpful. My handwriting has got much better and I am more confident with it now.”
